World Book Day 2024:
Date, History, Wishes, Quotes & Greeting Posters

Let's glance through World Book Day History!

Back in 1922, Vicente Clavel, a publisher from Barcelona, Spain, imagined a special day to be dedicated to books and honouring author Miguel de Cervantes. What started as celebrations for Cervantes' birthday in 1926, later shifted to April 23rd, 1930, to coincide with his death anniversary, known as Sant Jordi's Day in Catalonia.

With the anniversaries of literal figures like William Shakespeare, on April 23rd, UNESCO declared the day as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995! This day is a testament to promoting reading, copyright protection and respect for intellectual property rights.

Exploring World Book Day Theme

This theme empowers and encourages the readers to go all out and explore various genres, authors and narratives which completely resonate with their passions, interests and likings!

This theme of World Book Day 2024 also was decided to lay off the pressure from kids that comes with reading, especially during situations when they are forced to read a book. It signifies and promotes the whole idea of reading as a fun activity rather than a chore and that books are more appealing than it's portrayed to them. Also, there have been studies which show that when people start off reading the books they love, they tend to keep doing it for longer years of their lives and continue to enjoy it. In a nutshell, the World Book Day 2024 theme was splashing light on the fact that books are meant to be an exciting activity rather than a monotonous one.
