Do you love a book so much you want everyone to read it? World Book Night was launched in 2011 to give a million books to light or non readers. Once again RNIB National Library Service is giving you the opportunity to join in.
World Book Night will be held on Tuesday 23 April 2013 and RNIB will give you 15 CD copies of an audio book title to give away as part of this national reading event.
It is entirely up to you how you give away your 15 audio CDs. You can give them to friends or relatives or to complete strangers in the street or on the bus! Either way, you will be sharing a great book with others and helping RNIB to promote the importance of accessible reading for people with sight loss and the wider work of RNIB.
