Share good books

Reading is a journey of discovery. Everyone, regardless of age, has the opportunity to find their own values ​​with books. For children, books are not only a tool to help develop thinking, but also an endless source of inspiration to explore the world around them. Fairy tales and exciting adventures in books help children form their personalities, stimulate their imagination and creativity. For young people, books become companions, helping them learn about social issues, philosophies of life and human values. Books on psychology, science, or classic literary works open up new perspectives, helping young people shape their thinking and develop themselves.

Reading also helps to expand professional knowledge, helping workers improve their skills and better meet the requirements of their jobs. In the context of globalization and fierce competition, reading becomes a key factor to help each individual constantly develop and adapt.

Towards Vietnam Book Day (April 21), it is not only a celebration of an event, but also an opportunity for everyone to awaken their love for books, spread the message about the importance of reading culture. Let's join together, share our favorite books, touching stories and together encourage everyone, from children to the elderly, to return to the world of books. Because when reading, we not only acquire knowledge, but also build a civilized community, a sustainable society. The Book Festival is the beginning of a new journey, where knowledge and culture are honored and promoted.
