Public Domain Day

1

Jan

Public Domain Day, on January 1st, is a special day when creative works like books, music, and movies become free for everyone to use. This happens because these works are old enough that the rules protecting them have ended. Imagine being able to play with toys that used to be locked away for a very long time. Now anyone can read, watch, or listen to these works without needing permission or paying money. It's like a big library of fun things opening up for everyone to enjoy, letting people create new stories, songs, or art using these old works.

How to celebrate Public Domain Day?

Start your day with a fun story from the internet, as many old books are now free. Visit a library or download tales from authors whose works entered public domain. Create art, like drawing or acting, based on these stories. Write your own short story inspired by them. Share your creations with friends or family, and maybe have a small party with games around these themes. You could even make a short video or play with your friends to share online. Enjoy music or songs that are newly free and let your imagination run wild by dressing up as your favorite characters.
