UNESCO: World Book and Copyright Day 2013

Join the celebration

• 

  Download books published over 100 years ago on Kindle, they’re free!
• 

  Share your passion for an author and offer his book to people around you!
• 

  Take this opportunity to discover something new from what you’re used to read.
• 

  Leave a book on a park bench or a metro seat with a note saying “Happy Book and Copyright Day!”
• 

  Find out how to send your old books to schools and libraries in countries facing a post-disaster situation. 
• 

  Educate yourself on books pirating: respect for copyright encourages the dissemination of knowledge and rewards their creators and publishers.
• 

  Never throw away your books, get involved in local community or online book swapping and donation campaigns and initiatives.
• 

  Plan local reading events in schools and libraries and encourage famous guest readers to get involved.
