Spread Positive Energy Contest 2024
Every day at 3 p.m., the "3 no" bookstore of Mr. Can, 72 years old, on Nguyen Huu Canh Street, Binh Thanh District, opens. The space is only over 10 square meters wide but contains nearly 10,000 books of all genres. Each person can borrow an unlimited number of books, without having to register, deposit or pay any fees. Only when someone wants to buy is the fee charged, only 20 - 30% of the cover price.
Starting out as a book lover and passionate reader, Mr. Can wants to spread and share his passion for reading as well as the values from books to the community.
Mr. Can uses the income from renting out the space to buy more books, creating variety for the store. "Books in my store are cheaper than other places. Customers can buy and return them, borrow without a deposit, no need to keep a book, no return time limit, and if customers want to keep them, they can give them away," Mr. Can shared.
Even if a reader took a valuable book and disappeared, Mr. Can would not care. Because according to his reasoning, if a valuable book is lost, another one will appear. He only hopes that the knowledge in the books will be passed on to others.
With the concept of "giving is forever", Mr. Can received support from many other people who donated books to the store.
