In the spiritual life of each person, books play a vital role. Reading not only helps to develop knowledge, skills, and thinking but also educates and cultivates human character

          Building a reading culture for students in universities is one of the important activities and conditions to help students access knowledge, form the habit of reading books, and create an important foundation for the innovation of teaching methods, self-study skills, and lifelong learning for each individual. In this context, reading culture refers to our attitudes and behaviors towards books and knowledge; we must know how to read books reasonably and effectively. Reading is one of the ways to help people relax, accumulate knowledge, and enhance their thinking ability. To make reading truly effective, each individual needs to cultivate their reading culture; one of the ways to form a reading culture is to choose books appropriately.

          Currently, Nghe An University of Economics has also created a favorable reading environment for students with a relatively comprehensive and modern infrastructure and equipment system. The number of textbooks and reference books is quite diverse in types and rich in content, meeting the basic reading needs of staff and students. Students‘ awareness of the issue of reading books and developing a reading culture in the school is being paid attention to. The school has also implemented many forms of activities to promote and popularize the reading culture for students, contributing to creating the habit of reading books and gradually forming a reading culture in the school.

Recognizing the importance of reading culture, the school always pays attention, invests, and equips students with thousands of books in the school library and digital library, allowing them to learn more new knowledge beyond what teachers convey in the classroom.

        According to the organizing committee, the series of welcoming activities not only encourage and develop the reading movement but also raise the awareness of NAUE students about the great significance and importance of reading books for the development of knowledge, skills, thinking, education, and personality formation. From there, it contributes to building an advanced Vietnamese culture with a strong national identity, creating opportunities for students to share valuable books, ignite a passion for reading, and commemorate “Vietnamese Book and Reading Culture Day“.
