Rekindling the summer reading movement.

During the summer months, in addition to enrolling their children in life skills and talent classes, many families frequently take their children to reading spaces to discover good books and enrich their knowledge. This is a safe, healthy, and beneficial recreational environment that helps children stay away from pointless and dangerous games and social vices.

Reading spaces - a destination for people of all ages.

During the summer months, strolling through reading spaces or libraries, one easily encounters teenagers, children, and even middle-aged and elderly people searching for good books. At the "Pink Candle" reading space run by Ms. Bui Thi Ha, a disabled person in Nguyen Du commune, in her small, charming flat-roofed house, Ms. Ha has dedicated the entire living room to a reading room with free bookshelves. Mr. Tran Trung Thinh, despite living far away, frequently visits the "Pink Candle" reading space to borrow books. Mr. Thinh said: "Reading has been my passion for many years. At this reading space, I find many good books; the space is warm in winter and cool in summer, so I often stay here for hours to read."

Despite being disabled, Bui Thi Ha, driven by her love of books, dreamed of creating a reading space to enrich her own knowledge and help those around her access and read. Initially, she collected books from used booksellers. Gradually, through inviting friends and collaborating with various reading spaces nationwide, she built the "Pink Candle" reading space. From having only a few dozen books, the number of books in the reading space gradually increased. Currently, the "Pink Candle" reading space has over 2,000 titles.

Adolescence and childhood are crucial stages in the formation and development of each person's personality.   During this period, reading culture is essential for children in their learning process, acquiring knowledge and cultural values ​​of humanity.   Besides the Provincial Library, the emergence of reading spaces, community bookshelves, private bookshelves, clan bookshelves, and family bookshelves in localities is actively contributing to promoting the development of reading culture in the community.   To inspire the spirit of "Learn, learn more, and keep learning" in young people and in the general public.
