Newsletter No 4/2022 - The Wonders Inside - Let's celebrate world book month!
All news
Read all about ethics and our resources, events and projects worldwide
Author: Lucy Howe López
World Book and Copyright Day 23 April 2022 is the focus of the Newsletter this month with contributions from our library colleagues and others.
Each book I read, like each person I meet, changes me, in subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways. They each have their voice and their point of view and style. The artistry, the breadth and depth of the vision of some authors can take your breath away.
You may like to think about a book or two that made you or made a change in your own life and be reminded at the same time of the power of the pen and of the written word and of the responsibility of authors and publishers and readers alike.
