World Book Day Quotes

World Book and Copyright Day

Every Year the pleasure of reading is shared on the occasion of the World Book and Copyright Day (April 23)

In order to promote the pleasure of books and reading, UNESCO is organizing a collection of books for the benefit of Libraries Without Borders (LWB), an NGO which promotes access for vulnerable populations to education, culture and information.

During the month of April at UNESCO’s headquarters, the staff was invited to deposit their books in the containers provided for this purpose in front of the elevators on all floors.

What books to give?

Books in good condition, in all languages
Equipped with a barcode
Purchased less than 10 years ago for updatable works (encyclopaedia, science…)
No textbooks or tourist guides
Children’s books are especially welcome!

Where will the books go?

The books collected will be sorted and referenced by the LWB teams. All those that can be, will be sent to libraries, schools and partner associations that do not have the means to equip themselves through traditional channels.

When they do not correspond to the needs of our partners, the books will be resold on the second-hand market. They will finance the sending of donated books, as well as the purchase of books on site to contribute to the local economy.
