Speaking about the significance of Spring Book Street, the Permanent Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District Nguyen Quoc Hoan, said that in recent years, the publishing industry and reading culture in Vietnam have developed strongly.

The activities of the 2025 Spring Book Street with the theme "Technology Tet - Shining Intelligence" not only arouse the passion for reading in each person but also contribute to building a community that loves books and knowledge.
