The 2023 Festival will go #beyondbooks by exploring the relationship between literature and other media, delving into the exciting ways in which they complement and enhance each other. The National Book Council believes that books are important for a country’s culture and society, not just on World Book Day.

The NBC advocates for the celebration of books and literature every day to create a knowledgeable, compassionate and open-minded society.
