Introduction
Book Day is an annual celebration of reading and books. This international event was created in 1995 by UNESCO to promote literacy and reading, especially among children and young adults.
The purpose of Book Day is to encourage people to discover the joy and value that books and reading can bring to their lives. It's a day to celebrate authors, illustrators, books and most importantly, readers. Festivities include author meet-and-greets, book readings, book fairs and giving books as gifts. Schools and libraries often participate by hosting reading-themed events and fundraisers.
Book Day highlights the importance of reading not just as a fundamental life skill, but as a pleasurable activity that enhances lives. Books have the power to educate, spark imagination, provide knowledge and so much more. This special day reminds us of the enduring magic and wonder of books that people of all ages can appreciate.
