Mysterious sightings were reported last week of a Don Quixote look-alike on campus.\u00a0 “El Quixote” was sighted in the HUB and the library, handing out bookmarks and telling everyone about the D\u00eda del Libro: Cervantes’s Don Quixote<\/strong> reading event coming up this week.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, April 23, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese will host a 12-hour readathon of Cervantes’s Don Quixote<\/em> in celebration of World Book Day.<\/p>\n

In 1995, UNESCO designated April 23 as World Book Day to honor books and authors and to encourage everyone to read.\u00a0 This date is significant to many important authors and is also the date that Miguel de Cervantes died.\u00a0 In many Spanish-speaking countries, readers participate in a two-day “readathon,” an event that features a continuous reading of Cervantes’s masterpiece Don Quixote<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This Wednesday, students and faculty will read aloud from Don Quixote<\/em> continuously from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.\u00a0 In addition to Spanish, excerpts will be read in several other languages.\u00a0 All are welcome!<\/p>\n

Please join us and read for a few minutes!\u00a0 E-mail arnedoa@dickinson.edu for more information, or simply come to the Bosler Atrium on April 23rd to read and enjoy!<\/p>\n
