World Book Day
World Book Day
In 1995, UNESCO officially designated 23rd April as the date to celebrate World Book Day.
The main aim of celebrating this day is to encourage students to read books and to also appreciate the passion of writing. To celebrate the day, enthusiastic readers can buy books from a popular book store and encourage others to do so as well.
The more we indulge into reading books, the more we understand the world around us, and more we discover life beyond what we already know. It is important for students to make books their best friend.
