World Book and Copyright Day

4/23/2020

 
Check the Planbook Daily: PlanBook (Note time of tomorrow's Zoom Meeting)

Today is World Book and Copyright Day.  The first ever World Book Day was celebrated on April 23, 1995. The date is also also the death and birth anniversary of William Shakespeare, a world famous author.  This event is hosted yearly by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

If your are a "Book Worm" or "Lifelong Learner" like me, head over to UNESCO's website and take a look around.  One very interesting page is the "Memory of the World Register"which presents material that has "
world significance and outstanding universal value"  https://en.unesco.org/programme/mow/register.  The material is from around the world.

Take a moment on this day, find ANYTHING to read, sit down as a family and enjoy the power of the written word.
