Bring a Book to Bed Day! Now With a Mission, a Link and a Press Release

Last year Bring a Book to Bed Day! was all about having fun. And we all had loads of it! I and two other amazing women offered gifts and services (thank you, Ezgi Sorman and Liz Santiago.) This year things are a bit different. As much as I adore gifts (both giving and receiving) I really wanted to do something for kids. That's why in honor of The Second Annual International Bring a Book to Bed Day! I will be funding a book-related project at DonorsChoose.org. DonorsChoose.org is an organizaton that helps public school kids and their teachers across the United States realize their dreams by allowing us all to fund projects that provide them with books, supplies and equipment their schools do not have the money to obtain. I'll be choosing a New York City school and I invite you to visit DonorsChoose.org and consider funding a project or donating to a project.

And here is the text of my Press Release that explains more about this years mission.

The Second Annual International Bring a Book to Bed Day! To Be Celebrated on February 28, 2009

United States of America (Press Release) February 26, 2009 -- Maria Alba Brunetti and Writers Lake announce the Second Annual International Bring a Book to Bed Day to be celebrated on February 28, 2009. We invite everyone to unplug, relax and enjoy a good book. In our hectic modern lives it is hard to find time to enjoy the simple pleasures of a good book. That’s why the cold and cloudy end of February is the ideal time to celebrate this holiday.

There is no perfect way to celebrate Bring a Book to Bed Day – whether all day, for an hour, five minutes or a little time before falling asleep at night – just take some time to enjoy a good book


This year, Maria Alba Brunetti honors the woman who taught her how to read Sheila Hirschhorn Meyer, her first grade teacher. Alba will be funding a book-related project for a New York City public school at DonorsChoose.org and invites everyone to do the same. “Sharing the joys of reading with students in a New York City public school who might not have the ability to bring their own books to bed on February 28, 2009 is the perfect way to spread my love of books to the next generation,” says Alba, “and I hope you will join me in furthering that dream.”


Writers Lake hosts Bring a Book to Bed Day on the last Saturday of February every year. Maria Alba Brunetti currently works as an editor for Relegence – An AOL LLC Company and a blogger for AOL’s Bright and Spacious. She was the Experts Producer at iVillage.com's Parent Soup as well as the Editor-in-Chief of VirtualItaly.com. The blog Writers Lake, was launched in November of 2007 and is devoted to poets and writers who seek to share encouragement, tips, and ideas about creativity as well as a deep love of the written word.
