April 23: World Book and Copyright Day
World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, on 23 April, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures. On this occasion, UNESCO and the international organizations representing the three major sectors of the book industry - publishers, booksellers and libraries, select the World Book Capital for a year to maintain, through its own initiatives, the impetus of the Day’s celebrations.
23 April is a symbolic date in world literature. It is the date on which several prominent authors, William Shakespeare, Miguel Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. This date was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone to access books.
By championing books and copyright, UNESCO stands up for creativity, diversity and equal access to knowledge, with the work across the board – from the Creative Cities of Literature network to promoting literacy and mobile learning and advancing Open Access to scientific knowledge and educational resources. With the active involvement of all stakeholders: authors, publishers, teachers, librarians, public and private institutions, humanitarian NGOs and the mass media, and all those who feel motivated to work together in this world celebration of books and authors, World Book and Copyright Day has become a platform to rally together millions of people all around the world.
At SFIT LIRC:
To commemorate the authors and celebrate "Reading", the SFIT LIRC arranged an in-house exhibition of classics.
We also displayed the information of Gyanpeeth Award Winners.

Book Donation Drive from April 10 to 22, 2015
“GOT BOOKS YOU DON’T
NEED,
DONATE TO OTHERS WHO WISH TO READ!”
Rather
than giving a financial contribution or donation, SFIT Library, Borivli, plans to forge a long-term relationship with
the people around, through the mutual love for books on the eve of ‘World Book
and Copyright Day’, which falls on April 23.
In 1995
UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23
April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of William
Shakespeare
and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega,
as well as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.
We have always attempted to develop a reading
culture among the people and now we are keen to harness the same enthusiasm to
the persons who are not as fortunate as we are.
The aim of this initiative is solely to connect
with the people outside the Institute and share the resources with them.
For the purpose, the ‘SFIT Social Responsibility Cell’ and ‘SFIT Library’ have decided to organize a “Book Donation Drive” in the campus from April 9 to 22, 2015.
We all have so many un-used books lying in our book-shelves. Some are read,
re-read; others have no foreseen use.
You are requested to donate such books and other
new books for this event and make it a success. Books related to engineering
subjects, educational, general and novels are most welcome.
Please ensure the following points so that your
donation of a book may be considered:
ü The books should be in good
reading condition.
ü They should not have any obscene
content.
ü Photocopies of original books are
a strict no-no.
Collection
Dates: 10th April to 22nd
April, 2015
Collection
Points: Boxes
will be available outside the Canteen (Ground floor) and the Library (2nd
floor) for your valuable donation of books.
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE BOOK DONATION DRIVE AND MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!
