(HBO) - The Library of Hoa Binh province has deployed a number of multi-media mobile library trucks to bring knowledge to people in remote and far-flung areas, local schools, aiming to promoting reading culture in the community.
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./.
