Vietnam Education Publishing House joins Book Fair 2025

Vietnam Education Publishing House (VEPH) took part in a book fair in celebration of the 4th Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day at the National Library of Vietnam on April 19.

The book fair is a meaningful cultural activity to celebrate the Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day (April 21) and World Book and Copyright Day (April 23).

It aims to encourage and promote a reading culture, raise public awareness of the value and importance of reading, and cultivate reading habits in families, schools, and society.

It also recognizes and honors individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the development of books and reading culture.

Held from April 19 to April 21, this year’s event carries the theme “Every Page – A Source of Pride,” underscoring the vital role of books in nurturing knowledge, enriching the soul, and inspiring national pride. It is particularly meaningful in the context of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.

The book fair features a variety of activities and exhibitions to showcase publications from numerous publishers and bookstores, including VEPH.

At its booth, VEPH presented nearly 500 book titles, offering readers a wide selection of signature products, such as textbooks, reference materials, and children’s stories.

Beyond book exhibitions, the event also includes book promotion and introduction, seminars, author talks, panel discussions, storytelling and drawing contests inspired by books, and thematic reading sessions.

Phung Ngoc Hong, deputy general director of VEPH, emphasized that this is a meaningful cultural activity that honors the value of books and knowledge, while sparking a love for books and reading culture within the community.

“This book fair is an important annual event that helps promote reading culture in society as books bring knowledge and nurture human soul,” she said. “We hope the organizers will continue to maintain and expand this meaningful event to spread the love of books and promote reading culture, especially among younger generations,” she added.

To further integrate the Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day into daily life and elevate the value of books in society, the organizing committee called on publishers and sponsors to donate books and resources to libraries that lack access to essential informational materials.

On the occasion, Vietnam Education Publishing House donated 624 reference books with a total value of VND43 million ($1,648) to the National Library of Vietnam, in support of this meaningful initiative.
