------------------------------------------------------------------------

Books have been hugely important in human civilization as a bridge of 
communicating information and ideas. By reading books, we develop and enhance 
our general awareness, creativity and broaden our knowledge and cultural 
horizons. To meet the needs of readers in reaching this goal, authors work hard 
and creatively. To encourage this creativity and to motivate the writers, we 
need to make sure that their intellectual property is protected - this is called 
copyright. However, the concept of copyright is limited in many countries 
including Viet Nam.

World Book and Copyright Day is celebrated annually on 23 April, proclaimed by 
UNESCO to promote the pleasure of reading, as well as publishing and copyright 
issues. This date was also the anniversary of the birth and death of prominent 
authors such as William Shakespeare, the death of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and 
Josep Pla, the birth of Maurice Druon, Vladimir Nabokov, Manuel Mejía Vallejo 
and Halldór Laxness. On this occasion, UNESCO will mobilize its network of 
partners, including publishers, booksellers, schools, libraries, and relevant 
cultural institutions. For this year, UNESCO suggests exploring the topic of the 
paramount function of books in the development of quality education, as well as 
the link between publishing and intellectual property rights.

In support of the International celebration, UNESCO Hanoi Office will organize 
the "Book and CD Donation Day" to donate books, documents and CD on culture, 
education, science, communication and information. UNESCO Hanoi Office invites 
all parties concerned (authors, publishers, teachers, librarians, public and 
private institutions, humanitarian NGOs and the mass media) to Unesco Hanoi
