Vietnam Education Publishing House takes part in Hanoi Book Fair 2024

The Vietnam Education Publishing House is taking part in the Hanoi Book Fair 2024, a major cultural event that aims to promote the reading culture in the community.

The 9th edition of the Hanoi Book Fair, which opened on the evening of September 27, is held to mark the 70th anniversary of the Capital Liberation Day (October 10, 1954) and the 25th anniversary of Hanoi’s recognition by UNESCO as a “City for Peace.”

The three-day fair, themed "Hanoi: The Cultural and Heroic Capital – the City for Peace," is taking place at the Hoan Kiem Lake pedestrian area in central Hanoi, attracting both locals and visitors alike.

Organized by the Hanoi People's Committee and the Ministry of Information and Communications, the event features around 250 booths of over 30 publishers and distributors from across the country, as well as international publishers with representative offices and publishing partners in Vietnam. It also sees participation of foreign embassies in Hanoi and representatives of various organizations, associations, and publishers worldwide.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Ha Minh Hai said that the book fair is not only a cultural event but also a bridge for knowledge, where each book carries stories, ideas, and knowledge that are shared widely.

With the theme "Hanoi: The Cultural and Heroic Capital - The City for Peace," this year’s event continues to affirm the important role of books in modern society, especially in the context of Hanoi's strong development and international integration, he stressed.

"Given the love for learning among Vietnamese people, particular those in Hanoi, we hope that the book fair will bring joy to readers and provide the best opportunities for everyone to access a rich source of knowledge that serves their lives, work, study, and research," Hai stated.

Despite challenges facing the publishing industry, including the impact of super typhoon Yagi on several Hanoi publishing houses, the fair organizers have launched a campaign calling on participating publishers, bookstores and readers to donate books to school libraries in rural districts of Hanoi severely affected by the floods.

The event is not just a book fair but also an opportunity to affirm and develop the reading culture within the community, especially in today's digital age.

Held during the cool autumn weekends, the book fair becomes an ideal destination for those who love literature and knowledge. It is expected to attract a wide range of readers, offering a chance for everyone to explore the world of books.

Vietnam Education Publishing House booth showcases many notable publications, including textbooks for all grades, as well as the newly published ADCBookiz children’s book series, which have quickly become favorites among young readers.

In addition to these attractive children’s book series, the booth displays high-quality reference books, serving the needs of those researching Vietnamese culture, history, and landmarks. These works are not only intended to support academic research but also inspire and motivate the younger generation in their pursuit of knowledge.

At the book fair, Vietnam Education Publishing House has announced that visitors to its booth will enjoy attractive discounts of up to 20%.

"We believe that these publications will provide readers, especially students, with enjoyable moments while contributing to the formation and spread of the reading culture in the community," said a representative from the publishing house.
