Today is World Book Day!
In this period of uncertainty, many people are turning to books to help them escape lockdown and cope with anxiety. Indeed, books have the unique ability both to entertain and to teach. They are a means of exploring realms beyond our personal experience through exposure to different authors, ideas and cultures.
They are a means of accessing the deepest places in our minds. Page by page, books light a path for us to roam, unbound by time or borders. In other words, books give us freedom.It is the power of books that we all need right now, as we are reminded of the fundamental importance of literature, as well as the arts, in our lives.
