It will use a temporary bookshelf set up at 363 Colombo St from noon on February 14. In addition to bestselling titles from international writers, a number of well-known Christchurch authors' books will be given away, including Jack Hartley's All the Other Days. Mr Lang says in keeping with the Valentine’ Day theme, there will be romance, poetry and drama titles available. He says the free books will only be available on Valentine’s Day, will be limited to one per person and can be picked up from the shelf with no purchase required.
