National Book Week activities

National Book Week 2023

National Book Week is an annual celebration in the Philippines that runs mainly during the last week of November to encourage reading and literacy. It takes place from November 20 to 24 this year. It also pays tribute to the service of public libraries in the Philippines in 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.
