23 April
World Book and Copyright Day
World Book Day, as it is commonly known, is celebrated every year on 23 April. The events done to honor the day are organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright.
U.S. Talk Like Shakespeare Day
Gives us the chance to speak like one of the most influential playwrights of all time — William Shakespeare, forsooth.
Dragon Remembrance Day
The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices. We celebrate St. George's Day on 23 April — the anniversary of his death in 303 AD.
Some of us grieve for the dragon.
23-29 April, 2023
Celebrate National Library Week with the theme "There's More to the Story." Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story.

ReplyDelete"Carpe Librum". I tried that once. My advice is that you make sure the book is yours in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThe poster about talking like Shakspeare is true ! I took so much Shakespeare in college I had to be aware I didn't write essays for other classes (say - anatomy) in Shakespearen.
