A Window Into the World During COVID-19

On 23 April, it is World Book Day! Now more than ever, at a time when globally most universities are closed and people are having to limit time spent out of their homes, the power of books can be leveraged to combat isolation, to reinforce ties between people and to expand our horizons, while stimulating our minds and creativity.

World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. 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.
