World Book Night is an annual celebration of reading, that started last year, and has now spread from the UK to include the states.
One million books are given away for free, with half of them being given to hospitals, prisons and care homes. The other 500,000 books are given away by World Book Night volunteers around the country. Each book has the giver's name written in it, with a unique code, so that they can be tracked on their journey.
