The 2022 Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day, themed “Helping culture prevail and developing reading culture”, aims to affirm the position, role and importance of books in improving the knowledge, skills, thoughts and personality of the people as well as encouraging and boosting the reading movement in the community.

The event will also honour organisations and individuals that have made great contributions to the development of books and reading culture.

Under the plan, the 2022 Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day will be held in many different forms in line with all practical conditions and the new normal rules for COVID-19 prevention and control.

The highlights of the event will be the launch ceremony for the “Reading Culture Ambassador” contest and a virtual book introduction contest, painting and seminars on books and reading culture.

Scientific and technological strengths will be utilized to build databases and e-documents for promoting books.
