Every year on April 23, UNESCO marks World Book and Copyright Day. This day highlights the importance of books in education, culture, and imagination.
Books allow children and adults to travel through stories, learn new things, and discover the world without leaving home.
The day also celebrates authors—the people who write books. “Copyright” helps protect their work, so their stories cannot be copied without permission.
In many countries, activities are organized to encourage reading, such as public readings, meetings with writers, and book exchanges in schools and libraries.
The goal is simple: inspire children to read and show that books are a powerful way to learn, grow, and dream.
