news0Help Spread A Love of Reading     

 

It was another busy holiday season at Harvard Book Store, and our thanks go out to everyone who chose to shift their shopping to indie businesses this season!

The spirit of giving good books continues this spring with World Book Night. The deadline to sign up for this unique program is January 5, and we will be a book pickup location for givers. Browse the curated list of books, and apply now to help give away amazing books to those who might not otherwise find them. You just need to pick your favorite titles and answer:
  • Where do you intend to give out the books? (at a bus stop? the Y? outside Fenway Park?) 
  • To whom do you intend to give books?
  • Why do you want to participate in World Book Night?
Thanks for signing up and for helping spread the word!
