National Buy a Book Day was created in 2012 to educate people to the importance of books to our culture and civilization as a whole. It is inarguable that books have been one of the greatest contributors to the advancement of the human race, by moving the hearts of many over the ages, stimulating their imaginations and helping them see the world in an entirely different light. Books have also served the simple but vital purpose of passing knowledge down from generation to generation. The creators of National Buy a Book Day want nothing more than for people take a moment to truly appreciate books and their numerous roles in the human experience.
