Starting on January 1, 2025, Hue Today Online has launched for readers with a new domain name. This change also marks a significant milestone in the development journey of a publication of Hue Newspaper and Radio - Television.

That is one of the contents in the plan to implement the “Establishment and Development of Hue Bookcase” project for 2025, which has just been issued by Hue City People’s Committee.

Kimé Publishing House in Paris has just announced the publication of “Poétique du Kiều” by Professor Tran Dinh Su. This publication is a rather a substantial work translated from the original Vietnamese “Thi pháp Truyện Kiều” (The Poetics of the tale of Kiều) by Professor Tran Dinh Su. This is one of the very rare Vietnamese social science research publications to be translated and published in France.

Compared to their peers living in Hue City and the lowlands, children in the mountainous and remote Nam Dong and A Luoi districts are at a significant disadvantage in terms of access to information technology, books, and age-appropriate publications. However, thanks to the efforts of the education sector, local authorities, and schools, the reading spaces for children in these places are increasingly being supplemented with a variety of books and periodicals, helping them have more "good friends" during their breaks or extracurricular activities.

The 2024 Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day kicked off on the morning of April 19th at Hue Provincial General Library with many activities.

Two new publications, which are the volume 1 and the volume 2 of the book themed “Hue, the Magical Imperial City” under the project on "Establishing and developing Hue Bookcase" in 2024, are expected to be released on the occasion of the 3rd Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day 2024. The event is organized by Thua Thien Hue General Library.

A publication set, titled "Mysterious Hue", consists of three books namely: “Hue, the mystery” (by Louis Chochod), “Gia Long Mausoleum” (by Léopold Cadière), and “The collection of maps and sites in Hue Imperial City” (by Henri Cosserat and Léopold Cadière).

Through the articles, Prof. Dr. Thai Kim Lan’s critical thinking about philosophy, Buddhism, popular culture, and especially the Hue lifestyle are clearly shown. Also, readers can follow the author's emotional flow to be immersed in familiar yet strange spaces, meetwith historical witnesses, and feel the subtle characteristics of the various lands.

The event included many activities such as the exhibition of books and paintings themed "Hue - April sunshine", a publication design contest "life-changing books", talks, and an introduction of historical novels about the Nguyen dynasty by the writer Tran Thuy Mai. On this occasion, a number of publishers, and authors also donated books to the Provincial General Library.

In 2023, from five to eight publications will be published for Hue Bookcase; and from seven to ten publications will be proposed to the publishing plan for Hue Bookcase in 2024. This information was announced on March 23 by the Provincial People's Committee, relating to the plan of "Establishing and developing Hue Bookcase" in 2023.
