Book Lovers Day 2023: History & Significance:

The establishment and origin of book lovers' day is unknown, but the origin of books is obviously known. It all started as carvings on stone tablets. The book was then designed to make the writing and illustrations portable for authors who found it inconvenient to carry stone tablets. Previously, books were made of parchment or calfskin and heavily bound with wooden covers. These wooden covers were heavily bound in leather to prevent the wood from getting wet and rotting. The printing process has made books easier and cheaper.

People can also read books on electronic devices like computers, cell phones, and tablets if they find it difficult to carry books from one place to another.

The celebration of this day is important for bookworms. In some people's lives, books are their most unique and supportive friends, not a day goes by without reading a few pages. We should all respect books and the knowledge they bring to our lives.
