Penguin Random House’s employees will be giving out free books on Giving Tuesday, December 1 as part of its #GiveaBook social media campaign.
The #GiveaBook team will be handing out free books in front of several of the publisher’s offices in New York (1745 Broadway and 375 Hudson Street), as well as at Carroll Community College (near the publisher’s Westminster, MD distribution center), and Sommer Elementary School (near its Crawfordsville, IN distribution center). The giveaways include: Red Rising by Pierce Brown; The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown; All I want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey, illustrated by Colleen Madden; and Llama Llama Gram & Grandpa by Anna Dewdney.
The promotion is part of the publisher’s social media promotion in which the publisher is donating a book to First Book for every tweet with the hashtag #GiveaBook, up to 35,000 times.
