In the industry of books, there are mainly three sectors i.e publishers, booksellers, and libraries. On the World Book and Copyright Day, the International Organisation chose one place, which acts as a World Book Capital for an annual year. Hence, this specific world capital through its proceedings, initiatives, and, programmes celebrate this highly historic day in their own way 

World Book Day Celebration 2020

Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is chosen to be the World Book Capital for 2020. The slogan for world book and copyright day 2020 is “KL Baca ‘ “Caring Through Reading”. Also every year, there is a different theme or a different set of themes. So for the International Book Day 2020, there are four themes which include-

Numerous activities will be conducted for the promotion of book reading.

Furthermore, there will also be an entire book city constructed for the World Book and Copyright Day 2020. The book city is called “The Kota Buku Complex”.

The reason behind the Wold Book Day celebration on the date of April 23 is linked to history. April 23 holds a lot of importance, as some of the greatest authors like William Shakespeare, Miguel Cervantes, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega deceased on this very day. So in order to mark a tribute to all these great literary giants, the UNESCO selected this date to commemorate the International Book day each year.
