On April 14, at Dong Hoi High School, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Tri province organized the opening ceremony of Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day 2026, and at the same time launched the "Reading Culture Ambassador" contest of Quang Tri province in 2026.
The event is part of a series of activities in response to the 2026 Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day taking place nationwide, attracting the attention of a large number of students, teachers and people from all walks of life.
In recent years, the locality has implemented many solutions to develop reading culture such as building and upgrading library systems, organizing book fairs, rotating books to grassroots levels, issuing free reader cards, developing digital documents and community reading spaces. Through this, the reading habit has gradually spread, contributing to improving people's knowledge, fostering personality and building a healthy cultural life.
This year's Book and Reading Culture Day continues to be an opportunity for agencies, units, schools and businesses to join hands to promote reading culture. Many rich activities are organized such as book displays, good book introductions, author-work exchanges and book learning contests, creating a useful cultural space for people.
At the program, delegates and students listened to Mr. Nguyen Canh Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alpha Book Joint Stock Company, a speaker with many years of experience in the field of publishing and promoting reading culture in Vietnam, sharing about the role of books and reading habits in developing knowledge and skills for the young generation.
On this occasion, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the Vietnam Education Publishing House presented more than 1,000 books (worth more than 60 million VND) to schools in the area; rewarded 2 collectives and 3 individuals with outstanding achievements in implementing Book and Reading Culture Day 2025.
