For a community that loves reading

Students read books at the provincial library.

Books are not only an endless store of knowledge but also an endless store of wealth. Only with the pages of books can the next generation understand what the previous generation has done, inherit and continue to develop, making human life more civilized and modern. Voltaire, a great French philosopher, once said: “What books teach us is like fire. We take it from our neighbors, light it in our own house, pass it on to others, and it becomes the common property of all.”

Mobile Library trips inspire reading culture to students in schools in the province.

However, with the constant development of digital technology and social platforms, entertainment channels that constantly update new, modern, multi-dimensional, and colorful information are becoming the highlight attracting many young people. The concept of "bedside books" is becoming increasingly unfamiliar to many people. In fact, every year, we have the opportunity to follow the provincial Mobile Library buses to primary and secondary schools. When asked, most of the children said that they rarely receive books from their parents or relatives, leading to going to bookstores or buying literature, science, and life skills books. Therefore, when the Mobile Library bus arrives, many children happily run to find books, reading enthusiastically even though the time is only one morning.

Student Nguyen Tran Hoai Thuong - class 6A, Phuoc Hoi 1 Secondary School (La Gi) said: Through the books suggested by my homeroom teacher, I have learned lessons for myself, knowing how to help and share with others, knowing how to admit mistakes and listen to my parents and teachers.

Students sit quietly reading books in the school yard.

Looking at the students pondering over the pages of books and excitedly participating in quizzes about historical figures and learning the names of books organized by the Provincial Library at the school, Mr. Nguyen Minh Bao Phuc - Principal of Phuoc Hoi 1 Secondary School hopes that the knowledge space from the Mobile Library trip will bring students not only good books, but also inspiration, change their perspective, change their habits of accessing books more and contribute to spreading the reading culture in the school environment and in the family.

Responding to the 4th Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day in 2025 launched by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism nationwide from April 15 to May 2, a number of agencies, localities and many schools in the province are organizing activities to read books with children, display, quizzes and tell stories based on books, launch reading movements in schools and communities... This is truly a great festival for book lovers, those who spread and popularize books and reading culture. This day is also a message, a reminder of the sustainable value of reading - a silent but powerful journey and responsibility of each person, each unit, each social organization in preserving, promoting, spreading, making reading a need, a cultural beauty.

Forming the habit of reading books right from school

Books and reading culture have been associated with humans for thousands of years. Books are still the most valuable source of life that no other spiritual food can compare to. Along with accelerating the digital transformation of libraries and improving the quality of library activities in schools, changing habits and spreading the love of books is everyone's task and should start today.
