(Courtesy Photo) World Book Night is an organization that works with publishers and authors to print paperback books to be given out in April to people that don’t have access to many books and to encourage reading at all levels. A person wanting to be a Giver completes a short questionnaire online, reviews the books available, and makes three choices. When they are accepted as a Giver, they then select the location of where to pick up their books. They receive 20 copies of the book selected for them and then deliver the books to individuals or organizations.

Jolly Homemakers participated in this program last year and distributed books to Owen Valley Health Campus, McCormick’s Creek Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center, and the Spencer Senior Center. This year we chose to contact Spencer- Owen Community Schools for suggestions of books for children. The books selected were “100 Best Loved Poems” by Philip Smith, “Raven’s Warrior” by Vincent Pratchett, “Dog Stars” by Peter Heller, and “The Ruins of Gorlan: The Ranger’s Apprentice Book 1” by John Flanagan.
