It has become a necessity to preserve the book culture as with the growing age of digitization and gadgets we are losing our most special friend which was and is there with us for ages and helped us get through lots of struggles, the books. So we observe World Book Day to promote reading, literacy, and the love of books around the world.
It is a global event observed annually on April 23rd, which is also known as International Day of the Book or World Book and Copyright Day. World Book Day is organized by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and is celebrated in over 100 countries worldwide. The theme for this year is “Indigenous Languages.”
We celebrate and observe this day as a part to encourage reading as a fundamental skill, to promote the importance of books as a source of knowledge, imagination, and entertainment, and to celebrate the diversity and richness of literature from different cultures and languages.
World Book Day is celebrated in various ways and activities, such as in the form of book fairs, author talks, book signings, storytelling sessions, reading challenges, and literary events in schools, libraries, bookstores, and communities. Many schools and organizations also encourage children and adults to dress up as their favorite book characters to make reading books more fun and engaging. World Book Day serves as a reminder of the importance of books and reading in our lives, and it provides an opportunity to celebrate and appreciate the joy of reading and the power of literature to inspire, educate, and transform lives.
Let’s save our books before they become history.
