The COVID-19 pandemic and the global response to it have severely limited public celebration of this year's World Book Day but online activities continued to promote the power of reading which the UN believes should be leveraged more than ever at a time of lockdown, the Unesco said. A whole day of events planned for the day marked annually on April 23 at the Unesco headquarters in Paris with different partners had to be cancelled.
