Vietnam Book Day returns to promote reading culture
The Ministry of Education and Training kicked off the third Vietnam Book Day in Hanoi on April 19 in an attempt to raise public awareness of the importance of books and promote reading culture in Vietnam.
The ministry also hopes reading would help improve education quality and provide social skills for people.
The book day provides an opportunity to honour people who are involved in the book industry, including authors, editors, publishers, distributors and librarians.
At the opening ceremony, several publishers donated thousands of books to the ministry’s library.
