Turning Pages, Changing Worlds: Celebrate World Book Day 2025!

April 23, 2025, is World Book and Copyright Day, which is commemorated by UNESCO to honor literature, authors, and the transformative power of reading. The symbolic date recalls literary legends like William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, whose works continue to influence generations. The 2025 theme, "The role of literature in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)," highlights the ways that books can lead awareness and action on global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and education. Globally, events including storytelling hours, author readings, book festivals, and reading challenges encourage people of all ages to embrace reading for pleasure and lifelong learning. World Book Day is a reminder that each page turned opens up new worlds, ignites creativity, and encourages empathy—empowering people and communities. Source: NDTV, UNESCO, AwarenessDays.com
