The National Book Week 2023 is celebrated to encourage reading and literacy among the public. This annual event pays tribute to the services of public libraries in the Philippines, promoting the activity of reading. It was first organized in 1934 by the Philippine government to arouse national interest in picking up a book and to recognize the critical function of libraries in imparting knowledge to the people.
This year’s celebration will focus on three major components:
READ. A call to every Filipino to make reading a daily habit and part of one’s lifestyle.
REREAD. Raise intentional and proficient readers who frequently read not because they are required to but because it has become their instinctive action.
RELIVE. Experience rebirth of the mind through one reading material at a time, as reading allows us to live different lives all at once.
This year’s celebration’s main goal is to revive the genuine passion and love for reading daily; and to turn reading without a purpose into reading with a real purpose.
