Canada Book Week is an annual event that is marked on April 15 to April 21. The decision to have this holiday falls on the third week of April is it can be part of Canada Book Day, which shares the same day as World Book Day. The idea behind Canada Book Week is to encourage and promote books and the habit of reading them. There is a startling rate of global illiteracy — usually stemming from the lack of study materials, including books. However, it is essential to establish and maintain a reading culture as early as possible to lay the foundation for a forward-thinking and innovation-driven society due to a constant search for information and knowledge.
