How to celebrate World Book Day?


Books can be an important part of your life, especially if reading is one of your preferred hobbies. Despite the growing popularity of other mediums that provide quick entertainment and knowledge, books have maintained their presence in our lives.

World book day celebrates the vast wisdom, knowledge and entertainment that books have provided its readers for a long while. World book day is an international event that UNESCO arranges every year. Since its inception in April 1995, world book day has been celebrated with zeal and enthusiasm throughout the world.

The purpose of world book day is to encourage more individuals to read books. The day also emphasises the importance of publishing unique and copyright protected content.

If you are looking for a way to celebrate world book days, we present a few ideas that can help you in expressing your appreciation for books.

1.     Take part in your local library celebrations
Given the rise in online sources, libraries may have lost their popularity. However, on world book day, many local libraries arrange skits of famous novels. These small skits help in encouraging children and adults to read some of these old classics. You can take part in these celebrations to increase awareness regarding the importance of reading books in general.

2.     Buy a few of your old favourites
Many book enthusiasts keep an old copy of their favourite books for remembering the memorable times when they first read it. If you have not kept your favourite novels in your book shelf then on this world book day, buy these books from a PNA store nearby. This can help in maintaining a collection of books that you can refer to in the future.

3.     Get involved in a reading marathon
Many book retailers arrange a reading session for individuals who may read their favourite books with other readers. You can choose the book based on the amount of time that you can dedicate to this activity. You may also volunteer at a book store to read a short story to children.

4.     Join a book group
There are many online book groups that you can join on world book day. If going to a book store is unappealing then you may buy books online. Book groups can give you an opportunity to interact with other readers. Joining a book group can help you in understanding in detail books that you may have read or wish to read later.
