We then spoke to Nombulelo Baba from National Library of South Africa. The subject was the World Book and Copyright Day. This day was established internationally by UNESCO at its General Conference in 1995.The habit of celebrating books and reading on the 23rd of April each year is, however, an ancient one. In the English-speaking world the date has also been linked with William Shakespeare’s date of his death April 23 1616.
