During the program, students listened to a discussion about books and the benefits of reading, helping them gain a deeper understanding of exemplary individuals who loved reading and self-learning during the Ho Chi Minh era. This allowed them to learn from and emulate these role models, contributing to the spread of a love of books and reading culture throughout society. In addition, they gained knowledge through a quiz and received meaningful gifts.

The competition took place in a lively and joyful atmosphere. Through the competition, the children practiced teamwork, coordinated smoothly, and worked together to complete their works successfully.

Do Nhu Huynh, a student in class 8A2 at Long Giang Secondary School in Ben Cau district, shared: “The provincial library has provided us with many good and meaningful books suitable for our age group.

“Modern life means that students like us read very little, instead using electronic devices like laptops, smartphones, and televisions… so I find the mobile book service very meaningful. It helps us develop a reading habit, and from there, we can love our homeland and country even more through each page of a book,” said Nguyen Nhi, a student in class 8A2, Long Giang Secondary School, Ben Cau district.

In addition, the Provincial Library also organizes mobile book services at many schools throughout the province; coordinates book exhibitions at the thematic talk "The Heroic Spirit of the Nation, Continuing the Glorious History of the Great Victory of Spring 1975" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025) at the auditorium of the 5th Division; introduces books at the auditorium of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of Tay Ninh Provincial Police; coordinates book exhibitions to celebrate major national holidays; implements a plan to provide mobile multimedia library services in Binh Phuoc province under the Cooperation and Development Program between Binh Phuoc and Tay Ninh provinces for the period 2023-2025 in the library sector…
