The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee will implement a programme that provides libraries across the city with up to five million books, both printed and e-books, from February 2024 to March 2025.
The city will continue to develop a book street on Nguyen Van Binh street, District 1 to become a cultural tourism destination in the city.
Developing reading culture is an important policy that the city has implemented over the past years. The city focuses on solutions to promote the development of reading culture among the people, closely following the criteria set by the World Book Capital - an initiative of UNESCO which recognises cities for promoting books and fostering reading./.
