In Chieng Le village, after working hours, many residents choose to go to the community center to read books and newspapers, exchange experiences in production, healthcare, and the education of their children, especially the elderly. The village's community library, which has been in operation since 2022, has over 200 books on law, literature, healthcare, and life skills. Mr. Bac Cam Phuc, Chairman of the Elderly Association of Chieng Le village, shared: "Since the community library was established, many members have maintained the habit of reading in the afternoons. The books on healthcare and daily life are very practical for the elderly. Through them, people gain more knowledge to take care of themselves, live happily, and stay healthy."

Meanwhile, in Bo Xanh village, the community library has proven highly effective through summer activities for children. Over 200 books across various genres such as comics, history, science , and life skills have become a valuable resource, attracting many students to read after each activity organized by the Youth Union and other organizations. This creates a healthy environment and helps students expand their knowledge, hone their skills, gradually develop a reading habit, and reduce their time spent on electronic devices.
