World Book Day is a global celebration aimed at promoting reading, literature, and copyright protection. Observed on April 23rd every year, people from around the world participate in various book and reading-related celebrations.
World Book Day was initially announced by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1995 and celebrated for the first time in 1996. This special day aims to inspire interest in reading, particularly among children and young adults, fostering their love for literature and cultivating reading habits.
Activities during World Book Day include organizing various reading promotion events, such as book exhibitions, reading lectures, book donations, and reading marathons. People also dress up in costumes as their favorite book characters to celebrate the charm of reading and literature.
