Under the theme ‘The book – From the past to the present’, the annual festival is held to celebrate Vietnam's Book Day (April 4) and World Book and Copyright Day (April 23). It is intended to honour reading culture and create an opportunity for authors to introduce their works to the readers.
The festival will offer young readers an opportunity to learn more about Vietnamese history and culture through games and interactive activities. A series of books that were honoured with the Ho Chi Minh award or other awards issued by the Vietnam Writers' Association will also be presented at the event.
Additionally, visitors can participate in educational games and buy books at discounted prices.
The highlight of this year’s festival is an exhibition of historic documents on printing techniques used over the ages. The featured artifact is the facsimile of a book taken from the bronze original that recordes a text written by Minh Mang King in 1824.
Under the framework of the event, the National Library of Vietnam will call on organisations, publishing houses and bookshops to supply books to libraries across the country.
