Children’s Reading Room – General Sciences Library of Ho Chi Minh City

The reading room at 69 Ly Tu Trong suits shared book discovery and a regular reading habit rather than supervised drop-off play. Children and accompanying adults have different card requirements, so families should resolve registration before planning a long reading session or borrowing books to take home.

At 69 Ly Tu Trong, the children's reading room makes books the reason for a family outing. It suits a shared reading habit: choosing something together, taking time over it and gradually learning how a public library becomes part of everyday life.

Find a book to revisit

Try beginning with one subject your child already likes. Let them choose a book, look through the pictures together and pause when a detail catches their attention. A child who cannot read fluently can still describe what they see or imagine what comes next. An older reader could compare two treatments of the same subject. The aim can be finding a book worth returning to rather than finishing a large stack.

Keep the first visit small

For a first visit, start at the desk, complete the relevant registration and locate the room for your child's age. Then choose a small amount to read on site before deciding whether borrowing would be useful for your family. You could end by letting the child name a topic for next time. That gives a short visit a natural continuation without making it feel like a reading test.

Cards and age-specific rooms

The FAQ covers ages 3–16, with ages 13–16 using the teen room, and one adult per child. Ask separately for under-threes. Friday is closed; confirm other hours, adult cards, optional card fees and borrowing deposits before your visit.
