BookCrossing

This year are working with a new partner BookCrossing. A community of over 800,000 people, in over 130 countries who share their passion for books with the world. BookCrossing allows books to take on a life of their own.

BookCrossing is earth-friendly, and gives you a way to share your books, clear your shelves, and conserve precious resources at the same time. Through their own unique method of recycling reads, BookCrossers give life to books. A book registered on BookCrossing is ready for adventure.

Why don’t you get involved, leave your book on a park bench, in a coffee shop, on a bus, luas or train. Share it with a friend or tuck it onto a bookshelf at the gym -- anywhere it might find a new reader! What happens next is up to fate, and we never know where our books might travel. Track the book's journey around the world as it is passed on from person to person.

How? It's easy.

Simply click www.bookcrossing.com/join and sign up for free in less than 1 minute-- that's it! Your book will be given BCID number and you can follow its journey. You can also download a bookplate to be displayed in the front of your book.

This World Book Day we want as many people as possible to leave a BookCrossing registered book in a public place. Help make the whole world a library and share the joy of literacy. Reading becomes an adventure when you BookCross!
