WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY 2021
World Book Day is celebrated every year on April 23 to promote reading, publishing, and copyright. April 23 is an important day for literature as it marks the birth and death of several prominent authors. William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, and Josep Pla died on April 23 and Manuel Mejia Vallejo and Maurice Druon were born on April 23.
World Book Day is organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 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. The World Book Capital for 2021 will be Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia.
UNESCO decided to institute a day dedicated to reading and books in the 1995 General Conference held in Paris, 'to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those, who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.'
