Điện Biên opens book and reading culture day

ĐBP  -  On the morning of April 12, at the ceremonial stage of the Điện Biên Phủ Victory Monument, the Điện Biên provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (DoCST) officially launched the fourth Vietnam book and reading culture day under the theme “Journey with books into the era of national rise”. The event was attended by comrade Vừ A Bằng, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

In recent years, the provincial DoCST has actively promoted a reading culture across the community through practical initiatives. These include advising the provincial government to issue various programs and plans for developing libraries and a culture of reading; organizing book introduction campaigns at public libraries; and running mobile library events for schools, organizations, and communities in highland, border, and economically disadvantaged areas, especially among ethnic minority groups.

Vice Chairman Vừ A Bằng visits book display booths at the event.

Additionally, the department has organized numerous reading promotion events, book fairs, national book days, and the reading culture ambassador contest.

These efforts have significantly raised public awareness, reshaped reading habits, and cultivated reading skills among residents. They have contributed to the broader development of a reading culture, fostering intellectual growth, critical thinking, and personal character. In turn, this supports the goal of building a well-rounded, law-abiding, and morally grounded Vietnamese citizen.

Delegates attend the opening ceremony.

Aimed at enhancing public awareness - particularly among youth and children - of the value of books in shaping character and personal development, this year's Vietnam book and reading culture day offers a wide range of activities. Highlights include book exhibitions, magazine and newspaper displays, creative book art installations, book and cultural product stalls, and library promotion efforts. The event also calls for increased community engagement in library development and improving the service quality of public library systems.

A musical performance opens the event.

The program features a campaign to collect and donate books to build grassroots-level libraries and reading corners at schools and military units,…

Under the theme “Journey with books into the era of national rise”,  the event showcases more than 5,000 titles covering topics from culture and history to life skills, innovation, green economy, technology, and entrepreneurship.
