Regular library patrons

Over 20 years of dedication

Mr. Tran Ba Hien, 72 years old (No. 4 Phung Khac Khoan Street, Nha Trang Ward), has been continuously associated with the Provincial Library for over 20 years. For him, his passion for reading began in his youth. Over time, his love for books has grown stronger. He has become a regular reader at many libraries, from private libraries and school libraries to general libraries in Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City. Since 2006, Mr. Hien has been a frequent reader of the Provincial Library. He usually comes to the library to read in the mornings, maintaining this habit four times a week. The place is very quiet and offers a wide variety of books, especially those related to literature, history, and philosophy. He particularly enjoys reading books in Chinese characters, Han Nom journals, and history journals. What he appreciated most about the Provincial Library was that, in addition to updating and adding new books, newspapers, and documents, the unit still preserved many old books, newspapers, and documents, including classics that are very difficult to find elsewhere.

According to Mr. Tran Ba Hien, in recent years, more and more young people have been coming to the Provincial Library to read, research, and study. This is a very positive sign, reflecting the results of activities aimed at spreading reading culture in the province. The Provincial Library has organized many activities to encourage young people to read and has brought about very good social effects. He still vividly remembers listening to poet Quach Tan and writer Vo Hong discuss literature and books. Therefore, he hopes that the Provincial Library will invite famous writers and scholars to share their experiences and inspire people to read.

Finding a diverse range of books

After more than 8 years of studying, working, and living in Ho Chi Minh City, Ms. Bui Phuong Dung (125 Dien Bien Phu Street, Bac Nha Trang Ward) chose to settle in Nha Trang. For over a year now, despite being busy with work and studies, Ms. Dung has made time to visit the Provincial Library at least three times a week to read, research, and study materials. Currently, she works as an English teacher at a language center, so she often reads specialized English books, books in English, books on soft skills development, and psychology books. For her, the space at the Provincial Library is very quiet and airy; the collection of books for young people is very diverse.

From the perspective of a young reader, Ms. Dung sees the Provincial Library as a valuable source of knowledge. She hopes the Provincial Library will promptly update its collection of new books and promote its digital library so that more readers from outside the province can use its services.
