April 23rd is World Book Day. At ABIS, we decided to extend it to World Book Week. Books let us see into other worlds. Every page can show us new people, cultures, and ideas. Each year on April 23, UNESCO celebrates World Book and Copyright Day to honor how books connect different generations and cultures.
Books, in all their forms, help us learn, stay informed, and enjoy stories. They also help us understand the world better. But for books to truly reach their full power, they need to be available in many different languages. Right now, most books are only published in a few languages, so many people miss out.
