World Book Day is an annual celebration of books and reading, primarily observed on April 23 in many countries, although in the UK and Ireland it is usually celebrated in early March. This global event aims to inspire people, especially children, to discover the joy of reading and to emphasize the importance of books in developing imagination, literacy, and lifelong learning. First established by UNESCO in 1995, World Book Day encourages everyone to appreciate the power of storytelling and the unique role books play in preserving culture and knowledge.
