In 1995 UNESCO declared April 23 as a "World Book Day", a special day for reading, for books and the authors' rights. The UN Agency for Culture and Education has been inspired by the Catalan custom to give away roses and books on the occasion of name day of the popular saint St. George. From  April 22 to May 2 simply place books you do longer need or want any longer on the reading wheel, allowing others to pick their book gift. Likewise, you can spin the wheel (please do so carefully) to see if there are any books you are interested in.
