World Book and Copyright Day, also known as International Day of the Book, was first celebrated on April 23, 1995. It was established by UNESCO in 1995 to promote reading, publishing, and copyright protection. The date of April 23 was chosen to honor the anniversaries of the deaths of renowned authors William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, both of whom passed away on April 23, 1616. The day also coincides with the anniversary of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.
