APRIL 23: WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY
World Book and Copyright Day - established in 1995 by UNESCO’s General Conference - will be celebrated with events encouraging everyone, particularly young people, to discover the joy of reading.
In choosing April 23 as World Book and Copyright Day, UNESCO drew inspiration from a Catalan tradition. On this day in Catalonia, numerous book fairs and street festivals are held and customers are offered a rose.
April 23 is a symbolic date in world literature, marking the birth or death of such writers as Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. Through its National Commissions and network of associated schools and libraries, UNESCO is encouraging all its Member States to celebrate this day through events ranging from book fairs to discounts or donations to hospitals, prison libraries, etc.
In Spain, a comic book, “Copy’s Adventures,” will be published for this occasion in order to raise awareness about copyright among students and young people. In Mozambique, 15 paintings by local artists will be sold at a charity auction to raise funds for youth rehabilitation projects through books and sports. Participants also will be invited to donate new and used books to a stock of five mini-libraries. In Sweden, the association of publishers is donating 35,000 books to schools, which will be delivered free of charge by the Post on April 23. In Cuba, UNESCO’s Regional Office for Culture will inaugurate a UNESCO Cultural Library at the Palacio del Segundo Cabo, an 18th century building in the historic centre of Havana.
