Children in Pa Co
commune, Mai Chau district, are reading their favorite books, within the
light-of-knowledge programme held by the Provincial Library.
The Multi-media Mobile Library project has been implemented by the Provincial Library since 2018 under the auspices of the Department of Library under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Vingroup. Trucks, books, computers, projectors, TVs, tables, chairs, and other supporting devices are donated by Thien Tam Charity Foundation.
The model has proven effective, meeting the needs of reading books and information searching among local residents, especially in disadvantaged areas, who can now have free access to books and technology.
Between 35 and 40 multimedia mobile library trucks are deployed to various localities and schools in the province. Each trip takes up to three days. In every destination, librarians instruct readers using the mobile library items, at the same time organise games or contests about books, authors, etc, thus attracting readers’ interest and encouraging the reading habit ultimately.
The Multimedia Mobile Library project has helped bring academic and recreational knowledge and skills to readers. Being offered with internet-connected computers and other multimedia items, people have better access to technologies, entertaining activities and information searching, thus serving their work, and raising their sense of citizens’ responsibility and awareness of observing the State laws and regulations.
There is a huge need for reading books and newspapers among people in disadvantaged areas. The project has not only brought books, newspapers and technology to people in disadvantaged areas, but also promoting the reading culture in the community.
In the coming time, the Provincial Library continues to add more books and launch more mobile library trucks to disadvantaged areas./.
