The event is expected to encourage and develop the reading movement among the community, contributing to building a learning society.

In addition, the Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day aims to honour readers, authors, publishers, printers and libraries that make an effort to preserve, collect and promote books as well as organisations and individuals who significantly contribute to the development of a reading culture in the community./.
