A reminder of what to do: between 5pm and midnight on 23 May, pick up a book or e-book and read for fun for at least 15 minutes. Then register at bds.org.nz/booknight
Make sure you tell your friends, whanau and work colleagues. Get the tamariki enthused. Round up your book group. Remind everyone in your street. Or put a poster up in your workplace.
New features of the website this year are downloadable posters and event listings (check out the website to see how you can register an event in your local community). The website is also where you go to register participation on the night itself, which will enter you in the prize draw with major prizes of book vouchers to the value of $150 and $100.
