International Book Giving Day is coming up soon: February 14th! (Yep, that’s also Valentine’s Day.)

For those of you unfamiliar with the holiday, International Book Giving Day is a day dedicated to getting books in the hands of as many children as possible. You are invited to celebrate…

1. Give a book to a friend or relative;

2. Leave a book in a waiting room for children to read; or

3. Donate a book…or a box of books…to your local second hand store, library or nonprofit organization.

International Book Giving Day has just unveiled this year’s International Book Giving Day poster! This year’s poster was designed by Hungarian designer and illustrator Mariann Maray.

Please, help invite people in your community to celebrate International Book Giving Day by printing this poster and posting it in your community in bookstores, libraries, coffee shops and other community gathering spots. Sharing this poster via social media is also a great way to help get the word out.
