International Book and Copyright Day is celebrated around the world on 23 April. The date was chosen by UNESCO in 1995 to commemorate the deaths of two of the most important writers in world literature: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare.
This celebration aims to promote reading, disseminate culture through literature, strengthen the publishing industry and defend the protection of intellectual property. To this end, activities such as book fairs, literary presentations, workshops, urban interventions, etc. are scheduled in many countries around the world.
As it does every year, the Fatima Mernissi library, which specialises in Mediterranean literature, joins this initiative with a programme of activities during the month of April, ranging from book presentations to a film series.
