Lao Cai Provincial Library, branch 2, in Cam Duong ward, is a favorite destination for many children, especially during the holidays. Luu Thuy Trang, a student at Pom Han Secondary School, said: Normally, I go to the library once or twice a week to read and borrow books, but this summer I come more often. There are many books to choose from, the space is airy and crowded with friends, so reading becomes more attractive.
Also regularly taking her son who is in high school to the library to borrow and read books, Ms. Dinh Thi Hoa, Lao Cai ward shared that reading books not only helps children gain more knowledge, but also helps them love reading culture more. At the same time, it also helps to reduce the children's exposure to electronic devices such as phones and computers too much. When children come here, in addition to reading books, they also have the opportunity to meet friends, exchange stories and useful knowledge.
According to Deputy Director of Lao Cai Provincial Library Vy Kieu Kim, in recent times, in addition to maintaining the library's operations at the headquarters, mobile library buses have been regularly going to mountainous and border villages every week to serve the needs of the people. This is a specific activity of the Provincial Library in implementing the "Project to develop reading culture in the community and the Project to promote lifelong learning activities in Government libraries".
In addition, implementing the digital transformation program in the industry, Lao Cai Provincial Library also regularly organizes knowledge update classes, professional guidance, and capacity building for staff working in libraries at grassroots and school levels. As of July 2025, Lao Cai province has more than 71% of public libraries and educational institution libraries that have effectively deployed and exploited the VietBiblio shared library management system, ensuring the implementation of linking and sharing of shared information resources between libraries. According to the representative of the Provincial Library, from now until the end of 2025, the unit strives to have 100% of public libraries and 60-70% of libraries at educational institutions equipped with this system to promote digital transformation in the library industry, while enhancing the sharing of document funds and diversifying the forms of service for users.
