World Book and Copyright Day

The English Department at IES Azorín has recently organised an exhibition in the corridor of the -1 floor under the title “Reading is more than a book.” This initiative aims to highlight the many ways in which reading is part of our daily lives, going beyond traditional books to include digital texts, images, media, and new forms of communication that shape how we understand the world.

The exhibition has been created to mark the celebration of World Book Day, a date that reminds us of the importance of reading as a key tool for learning, imagination, and personal growth. It is also an opportunity to recognise the value of literature in connecting cultures, sharing ideas, and fostering empathy among people.

Bringing this celebration into the school environment is especially important. In a time when students are constantly exposed to fast and fragmented information, promoting reading helps them develop critical thinking, concentration, and a deeper understanding of language. By making reading visible in shared spaces like school corridors, the exhibition encourages students to reflect on their own reading habits and to discover new ways of engaging with texts.
