The Akron Reading Festival, held on 7th February 2009, was not only a triumph for the people of Akron and the surrounding areas, but a RECORD breaking release for the Rubber City Book Posse.
In 2008, 625 books were released at the festival. The RCBP set a goal for at least 1,000 books to be donated, however with hard work, dedication and the giving nature of bookcrossers around the world, we came to the festival with 3,288 books–and all of those books went to good, reading homes!
The RCBP broke history. And lucky people in Akron and surrounding areas were the beneficiaries. Look for more details to come.
