Answer:

International Book Giving Day

We often overlook the importance of books and how much of a difference they can make, especially in the lives of children. Thankfully, Amy Broadmoore didn’t.

In 2012, she and her son conceived the International Book Giving Day which is celebrated every year on February 14, with the intention of getting books into the hands of as many children as possible. Today, it is celebrated across the world from the U.S. to Malawi and Poland to Puerto Rico.

In Calais, books were sent to child refugees.

6 new libraries have been established over the past 6 years, each one on Book Giving Day, in Cape Town.

The National Book Development Board in the Philippines organised the ‘Books are Love Giveaway’ giving individuals the chance to win books for themselves and their chosen library.

In 2017, Pakistan celebrated Book Giving Day for the first time. Over 200 books were distributed in Transworld School Rawalpindi and storytelling sessions were held at 2 different venues.

You’ll help children:

Books help children make sense of the world around them, impart morals and values to them, often without sounding preachy, teach them empathy, and the difference between right and wrong. Moreover, children who can’t read are unable to learn and this impacts their schooling.

You’ll make space for more books:

If you are like us, your shelves are probably overflowing with books and you may even have an extra copy or two of your favourite book. Perhaps, you’ve put a hold on buying new books simply because you no longer know where to keep them. So, make space for more books by letting go of the old ones- donate the books you feel can add value someone’s life.

You’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside:

Seriously, you will feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You are spreading the joy of reading, and making some children smile simply by deciding to donate books. Besides, studies have shown that giving wholeheartedly will make you happy.

You’ll change someone’s life:

You know reading changed your life. Books have been your friends, your partners-in-crime, your confidante. They’ve transported you to new places, helped you find solutions to your problems and, often, simply provided an avenue to escape your reality. For the less fortunate, books are considered a luxury and they simply cannot afford them. Donate books so you can change that by providing much-needed access.

You’ll give the best gift ever- books:

Remember how you felt when you were given a book you’ve been dying to read as a gift? Now, you can pass on the same feeling by giving children the gift of books and inculcating the joy of reading.
