Just want to share: Last Tuesday 11.5.2005 we celebrated "Book and Rose Day" here in Finland. The celebration originates from Worldbookday, that is celebrated in Europe usually on the 23rd of April, but since the weather is better during May here in Finland, we have change the date.
The local BC groups in at least three cities here in Finland celebrated the day. In Helsinki they had a BC table at an event in the central of the capital. On the table books was released, traded and information about Bookcrossing. In Tampere they released books, and also in my city (Turku) we wild released books. In all we released about 50 books, and we have had so far several catches and new members joining. The news paper Turun Sanomat join us, when we in a group went to wild release books. Here is a link to the article in the paper: http://www.angelfire.com/oh/intryck/tsjuttu.pdf (Acrobat reader needed) The article is written with humour. It says in short: "No, there wasn't a international conference for absent-minded professors, although you might have found one or two forgotten books laying on a bench or on a coffee table. The bookcrossers in Turku organized a mass wild release on The Book and Rose Day..." And then they explain about bookcrossing and what to do if you catch a BC-book. intrycksflikka who would love to hear about other mass wild releases and thing like that... http://intrycksflikka.bookcrossing.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
