Aimed to encourage reading in the community, the annual event looks to raise public awareness of books as not only a source of knowledge but also a way to develop one’s thinking and personality. 
The event also presents a chance to appreciate the efforts of those involved in the development of books, such as collectors, writers, publishers and distributors. 
The observance of the event will contribute to raising the responsibility of ministries, sectors and social organisations towards the promotion of reading in Vietnam.
