Hello!
Can you please read it and see if I used it properly in the sentence. If you have any other comments, I would be very grateful to read them.

Thank you

Hello Antonia I have no ability to evaluate your sentence, but if I were you I would write it in a way like; On the Book Day, 22 April 2003, they published a paper entitled "Who reads how many books in Croatia", which reported the result of a survey on the frequency Croatians had got in contact with books in the twelve months of the year 2002. paco

Antonia - I'll have a try.
On the occasion of Book Day on April 22, 2003, researchers published Who Reads in Croatia and How Much, reporting the results of their study of the interactions Croatians had with books during the year 2002.
