Safe and meaningful summer

The provincial library cooperates with the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police to propagate and equip life skills for teenagers and children.

Life skills training

In the early days of this year’s summer vacation, many exciting cultural and artistic activities were organized throughout the province, creating useful and safe playgrounds for teenagers and children. From the summer opening ceremonies in localities with many exciting activities, to children’s painting competitions or cultural playgrounds related to books… all attracted enthusiastic and excited participation from children.

One of the activities that is organized during the summer for children and teenagers is the life skills training sessions. The opening activities at the Summer Book Festival recently held at the Provincial Library were life skills training activities for children and teenagers. Along with that, under the guidance and communication of soldiers from the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of the Provincial Police, the children were provided and equipped with some basic knowledge about fire prevention and fighting.

Through a form of propaganda that is close, easy to understand, and age-appropriate, and gives specific examples from real work, the propagandists attract the attention and listening of the children. To increase their interaction, the propagandists also ask questions about knowledge, handling situations, and the propaganda topic for the children to answer and receive gifts when they answer correctly. The children are also directly guided in practicing handling situations that may occur when a fire occurs in daily life.

Participating in this thematic activity, Tran Nguyen Khanh Ngoc, an 8th grade student at Phu My Secondary School, said that the knowledge and skills the police officers taught him helped him understand how dangerous fires are, how to protect himself, and how to help others in case of an incident.

The Provincial Library leader said that for many years, one of the activities that the library has coordinated with the specialized departments of the Provincial Police to effectively carry out during the mobile book service at schools is to train life skills for students. With their knowledge, expertise and professional experience, the police officers from the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department; the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of the Provincial Police; the Traffic Police Teams of districts and cities in the province have organized activities for the students on a number of topics, such as: Drug prevention in schools; skills to prevent accidents, injuries, drowning; traffic safety and traffic culture, etc.

These activities both propagate and guide, help students recognize signs, classify bad behavior, how to handle dangerous situations; at the same time equip them with basic skills to be able to defend themselves, prevent and solve problems, practice more life skills, thereby contributing with functional sectors to promote the dissemination and education of law in schools.

Useful activities at the Provincial Library for children and teenagers this summer

Summer fun and useful

In addition to life skills activities, the Summer Book Festival also has many attractive activities, such as: Displaying books and newspapers to serve the reading needs of children; physical games with prizes; sand painting; playing chess... In each activity, the children participated very enthusiastically and happily. Especially in the areas where books are served such as the Children's Room and the display area in the library lobby, there are many students and parents reading books together. Although the service time has ended, the books here are still attractive, so that children and parents can take some time to finish reading before leaving.

In order to create a healthy and useful playground in the summer, attracting children and teenagers to participate, the Provincial Library organized the first Summer Book Festival in 2025. The festival is part of a series of summer activities and responds to the Month of Action for Children in 2025 at the Provincial Library. This is one of the useful playgrounds in the summer for children and teenagers and has received the attention of many parents.

From Ben Cat City, Ms. Vu Thi Nhu Trang came here early with her two children so that they could participate in all the activities of the Summer Book Festival. She said that since their two children could read, she and her husband have gradually taught them to read. The good news is that the older the two children get, the more they like to read. “At home, in addition to their parents encouraging their children to read by buying and reading books to them, their grandfather is also an active reader who goes to the city library to borrow books to read. Therefore, the children love reading and when they heard their mother talk about the Summer Book Festival, they immediately agreed to participate,” Ms. Trang shared.

According to Ms. Trang, summer vacation is a time for children to rest, so parents should let their children play and participate in more experiential activities so that they can relax after a stressful school year. The Summer Book Festival organized by the Provincial Library is a healthy cultural playground. Coming here, children not only have fun together, but also learn how to access the library, equip themselves with effective reading skills, contributing to building and forming the habit of reading from a young age.

Exciting summer activities have been taking place all over the province for teenagers and children. Not only are they useful playgrounds, but they are also places for children to practice their physical strength, aesthetic talents, improve their skills and gain more useful knowledge, contributing to enriching their summer vacation picture to be more vibrant and colorful.
