POULSBO — Liberty Bay Books is asking for participants for this year’s World Book Night, April 23, to hand out free books to non-readers and  light readers in Kitsap County.

April 23 is the UNESCO International Day of the Book, recognizing Shakespeare’s birthday and honoring Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes. World Book Night is celebrated around the world.

Last year, Liberty Bay Books had 25 givers each pick up a box of 20 books to hand out. The deadline to sign up for this free event is Jan. 25 — either at www.us.worldbooknight.org, or in the store at 18881 Front St.

For more information, call (360) 779-5909.
