Today is the global World Book and Copyright Day with the theme of Indigenous Languages. IFLA has a post on this https://www.ifla.org/news/ifla-celebrates-world-book-day-with-a-spotlight-on-indigenous-languages/ highlighting the IFLA Statement on Indigenous Traditional Knowledge.
Given the theme, I will highlight the open access book by Rachel Chong - Indigenous Information Literacy, which "outlines best principles for working with Indigenous print and oral sources in academic research": https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/indigenousinformationliteracy/
23rd April was chosen by UNESCO as World Book Day as it is the date on which William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died.
As a final link, my Twitter my eye was caught by a post by Visit Norway with some facts about Norwegian, books authors and readers - nice to see a tourist agency highlighting books and reading!
