Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures. On this occasion, UNESCO and the international organizations representing the three major sectors of the book industry - publishers, booksellers and libraries, select the World Book Capital for a year to maintain, through its own initiatives, the impetus of the Day’s celebrations.
”The keynote declaration of world reading day is: "to create awareness and hope for people around the world, whether you are old or young, whether you are poor or rich, whether you are sick or healthy, to enjoy the pleasure of reading, respect and thank the masters of literature, culture and scientific thought who have made great contributions to human civilization, and protect intellectual property rights."
