Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How can I participate?

Anyone can participate, anywhere in the world. During April, add the hashtag #EveryBookItsReader to the edit summary when you save edits on Wikimedia projects. Your edits will then be tracked on the Wikimedia Hashtags tool.

If you’re not sure where to begin, see the Oregon State University library guide Creating and editing Wikipedia articles about books.

How can I host an event?

Everyone is welcome to organize an event, usually in April, at a library, school, university, bookstore, or online. See Events for how to add it to the campaign dashboard. For tips on organizing, see the resources from Art+Feminism.

How can I use the logo?

Anyone can use the campaign logo, which is shared under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. The logo and companion materials were created by Brazilian artist Andreia Tiemi in several languages and can be downloaded from Wikimedia Commons. Please use the 2024 version.

If there’s no logo in your language, send us a message on LinkedIn and we’ll do our best to make one.

How can I get funding?

We’re volunteers and don’t have funding to distribute. You can apply for a Wikimedia Foundation Rapid Fund.

Is the campaign on Meta-Wiki?

Yes. This website is our main home, and there is also an Every Book Its Reader page on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki.
