“World book and copyright day is a yearly event celebrated in most parts of the world on 23rd April to promote reading, publishing and copyright. It was a natural choice for 28th UNESCO’s General Conference in 1995 to pay a worldwide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people to discover the pleasure of reading. The main objective of this day is to inculcate reading habits and protect the rights of authors with the enactment of copyright laws,” Dr. Abdul Majid Baba University Librarian CUK said in a statement.
The statement said special lectures will be delivered on the inaugural function. It said noted columnist Zahid G Muhammad will deliver a lecture during the inaugural function.
