(Baonghean) - In order to contribute to the development of reading culture in the community, especially among entrepreneurs and young people in the context of international economic integration, Nghe An Provincial Library is one of the pioneers in the country to implement the model of Reading Room (book space) for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance.
In modern life, the need to look up documents and update information to serve people's work, study and life is becoming increasingly urgent, diverse and rich.
With the desire to build a cultural living space, connect the book-loving community to satisfy their passion for reading, develop a reading culture, and at the same time create conditions for entrepreneurs, young people, students, and readers to exchange, learn, and expand their knowledge, the Business Reading Room and Youth Career Guidance was born.

The reading room for business and youth career guidance is located on the first floor of the Nghe An Provincial Library building. The reading room is beautifully and scientifically decorated with shelves of books and documents in a green space, combined with a coffee - book model. The space of the reading room is connected to the outdoor space, shaded by green trees with a harmonious landscape design close to nature; children's play area; creating an ideal reading room complex for relaxation, exchange and meeting.
With thousands of diverse books on fields such as: Leadership skills, Human resource organization, Corporate finance, Law and Public policy, Entrepreneurial culture, Economic news, career guidance, startups... along with e-books and other media, the youth business and career guidance reading room will support entrepreneurs, students, young people and readers to update rich information on business administration, opportunities, business investment environment, career orientation, startup experience, job introduction...

As a close and regular reader at the Provincial Library, Ms. Nguy Van Thuy - Lecturer at Nghe An University of Economics shared: “I often go to the library to find documents for teaching English and reference books for my children. It is known that the library will soon open a reading room for young entrepreneurs and career guidance with a space for reading, entertainment, relaxation and the opportunity to meet and exchange. This model is very practical and useful for book lovers like me because this is not only a place to find documents but I can also come here to work and meet and exchange with people who share the same interests and the same industry; thereby expanding my knowledge and social relationships”.
The reading room for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance of Nghe An Provincial Library is a new and pioneering model of reading culture development in the North Central region, containing the enthusiasm of the staff, employees and workers of the unit. This model was launched in 2016 and submitted to the relevant departments for approval. On September 30, 2016, the Provincial People's Committee issued Official Letter No. 7288/UBND - KT allowing "Organizing a reading room (book space) for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance, canteen service at Nghe An Provincial Library".

Discussing the orientation of building a model of a reading room for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance, Mr. Duong Duy Tien - Director of Nghe An Provincial Library said: "The model of a reading room for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance is based on the models of libraries in some localities across the country such as: Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi ... We built this reading room model based on the regulations on Management and use of public assets (in Articles 55, 56 of Law No. 15/2017/QH 2014); Regulations on model operating regulations of public libraries at provincial, district and commune levels (in Article No. 13, Circular No. 13/2016/TT - BVHTTDL dated December 9, 2016) and Decision of the Provincial People's Committee No. 4649/QD - UBND dated October 9, 2017; according to Official Dispatch No. 7288/UBND - KT of the Provincial People's Committee dated September 30, 2016.
The reading room for entrepreneurs and youth career guidance is invested with 100% socialized capital and will open on April 1, 2018. We hope that through this model, we will contribute to developing a reading culture among entrepreneurs, youth and students. At the same time, it will create an environment for cultural activities, exchanges, and sharing of experiences, contributing to improving production and business efficiency for enterprises; creating conditions for youth, students, and workers to access information on career orientation and job opportunities in a practical and effective way, contributing to solving employment and social security"./.
