≡Book Donation: Sharing Knowledge: why is it celebrated on February 14?
February 14th, Book Donation Day, is a date dedicated to encouraging the sharing of books as a way to promote reading and disseminate knowledge
The global initiative seeks to involve people of all ages, highlighting the transformative impact that reading can have on an individual's life.
Created in 2012, the movement's main objective is to encourage people to donate new or used books to schools, libraries, friends or underprivileged communities. The date also reinforces the importance of making literature accessible, especially for children and young people in vulnerable situations.
On this day, several campaigns in schools, companies and non-profit organizations should mark the occasion, encouraging the donation of literary works and community involvement. The hashtag #BookGivingDay is widely used on social media to promote the initiative, connecting readers and donors around the world.
International Book Giving Day is a reminder that generosity and a passion for reading can transform lives, creating a lasting impact on education and global culture.
