Thousands of books are on display at Autumn Book Fair 2013 which opened at the Vietnam Women’s Museum in Hanoi on October 10.

The four-day event is part of activities to celebrate the 59th anniversary of the city’s Liberation Day and the 83rd anniversary of the Vietnam Women’s Union.

In her opening speech, the Women’s Publishing House Director Nguyen Thi Tuyet said that the fair aims to promote the traditional values of reading culture  in response to the 2013 Vietnamese Family Year.

The fair has some 4,000 publications with a total of 8,000 copies covering politics, culture, history, literature, economy, and finance.

It is aimed at encouraging young people to read and have a higher sense of responsibility for the community.

During the fair, a book donation campaign will be launched together with the granting of insurance cards to disadvantaged female university students.
