Barnes & Noble, Inc. will celebrate national “Turnoff Week,” April 20 – 26, with activities offering alternatives to television, the Internet, electronic games and other screen-related activities.

Turnoff Week is a primary program of the Center for Screen-Time Awareness, an international nonprofit organization, providing tools for people to live healthier lives in functional families and vibrant communities by taking control of the electronic media in their lives rather than allowing it to control them. Since 1994, more than 50 million people have participated in Turnoff Week.

Among the events being offered at many Barnes & Noble stores across the country are family story-times, family fun nights, game nights, book clubs, book fair fundraisers, crafts, scavenger hunts and poetry readings.
