The festivities planned in conjunction with the year-long Kuala Lumpur World Book Capital (KLWBC) 2020 are well under way, albeit mostly in the virtual sphere due to the pandemic.

Launched on April 23 with the slogan "KL Baca: Caring Through Reading”, KLWBC organisers have planned a series of online activities and book promotions to nurture the reading habit among the public.
