The World Book and Copyright Day is an occasion meant to pay a worldwide tribute to books and authors and to also encourage people across the globe to discover the pleasure of reading with the hope that, such will lead to the renewed respect for those who have made irreplaceable contributions to social and cultural progress of the globe. It is also hoped that, World Book and Copyright Day will increase people\u2019s understanding, appreciation, adherence and respect for copyright laws and other measures meant to promote and protect intellectual property rights, especially copyright and related rights.<\/p>\n

As such, owing to observance of the Holy Month of Ramadan, The Copyright Office of The Gambia under the National Centre for Arts and Culture (NCAC), rescheduled celebration of this year\u2019s day to May 2022 with details to be communicated to public, especially stakeholders of the Copyright Industries.<\/p>\n
