1, World Reading Day is April 23rd. 1995165438+1October 15 was officially designated as World Reading Day. The full name of World Book Day is World Book and Copyright Day, also known as World Book Day. The original idea came from the International Association of Publishers. The programme was handed over from Spain to UNESCO. It was established to promote more people to read and write. I hope everyone can respect and thank the masters of literature, culture, science and thought who have made great contributions to human civilization and protect intellectual property rights. 1995, UNESCO declared April 23rd as "World Reading Day". April 23rd is the anniversary of the death of Cervantes, a famous Spanish writer, and Shakespeare, a famous British writer. On this day every year, many countries in the world 100 will hold various celebrations and book promotion activities.

2. The origin of World Book Day: UNESCO is very particular about the timing of World Book Day. April 23rd is the anniversary of the death of Spanish writer Cervantes, and it is also a popular festival in Catalonia "Saint George's Day". In fact, this day is also the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth and death, as well as the birthdays of American writer Nabokov, French writer Maurice Derohan, and Laxenes, the winner of Nobel Prize in Literature in Iceland. Therefore, it is justified for many people to become "World Reading Day".
