Every Year the pleasure of reading is shared 

on the occasion of the World Book and Copyright Day 

(April 23)

Every year, UNESCO invites the international community to celebrate. 

World Book and Copyright Day on 23 April. This day recognizes books as:

 “A Link between the past and the future" 

"A bridge between generations and across cultures” and 

Calls for "Celebrations of the power and joy of books".

On this day, UNESCO recognizes the various stakeholders that make up the book sector – authors, publishers, booksellers, and libraries.

In 2023, World Book and Copyright Day will link the power of literature and storytelling with the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-32) with the theme: Indigenous Languages.

The International Decade of Indigenous Languages launched in 2022 with the goal of promoting and protecting Indigenous languages and improving the lives of their users. Libraries can play an important role in meeting the objectives of this decade.

Libraries can be spaces for engaging communities, listening and working together to preserve and provide access to Indigenous knowledge, language, and culture in a culturally appropriate and community-determined way.

World Book and Copyright Day 2023 is a moment to share stories, amplify good practice, and kick off a discussion on how access to various forms of literature, including oral traditions, can help protect Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems.
