Panelists at the Global Book Alliance’s recent International Literacy Day webinar focused on the ‘Business of Books’ believe books should be viewed as an essential commodity, a commodity that can support and energize children to thrive in times of crisis and calm. This post discusses how, like other essential commodities, books demand a market-based approach to ensure they are developed to answer the needs of their readers and land safely in their hands.
On International Literacy Day (September 8th), the Global Book Alliance celebrates the addition of 17 new languages to the growing collection on the Global Digital Library (GDL).
