BEIJING -- April 23 marks World Book and Copyright Day. It is an annual celebration initiated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright.

Books have long embodied the human capacity to conjure up worlds, both real and imagined. They help us share ideas, obtain information, and inspire interests and curiosity for different cultures, enabling dialogues between people across space and time.

On this day, especially in uncertain times when the pandemic is still raging across the world, let's immerse ourselves in libraries around the world and pick a book, finding comfort and stimulation through these powerful tools.
