About World Book and Copyright Day
World Book and Copyright Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2027 it falls on a Friday; in 2028 it’s on Sunday 23 April, and in 2029 on Monday 23 April. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in April 2027: English Language Day (23 Apr), Spanish Language Day (23 Apr) and International Girls in ICT Day (23 Apr). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
