The Library Project Launches Operations in Vietnam
The Library Project – June 2013
The Library Project has been operating in Vietnam since January 2013. During that time, we have donated 15 libraries to four regions of Vietnam; Vinh Long Province, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi and Hai Phong. Over the next six months we’ll expand our footprint to another two provinces in the South.
Our 2013 goal is to donate a total of 40 libraries to rural primary schools.
“I am so proud of what The Library Project has been able to accomplish in just five months of operations in Vietnam. These fifteen libraries are packed with between 500-1000 beautiful Vietnamese language children’s books. These books are the best on the market in Vietnam. Our work has just begun in Vietnam, we still have another 25 libraries to complete by the end of the year,” said Tom Stader, Executive Director and Founder of The Library Project.
The Library Project is a non-profit charity organization that donates books and libraries to the under-financed schools in China and Vietnam. Up to now, The Library Project has donated more than 1000 local language libraries for elementary schools in remote areas of both China and Vietnam.

About The Library Project
The Library Project supports rural education across China, providing children with access to libraries, literacy programs, and teacher training. Since its inception in 2006, we have transformed the educational landscape for over a million children and teachers in more than 3,000 schools. Our commitment to creating safe, educational spaces where children can learn, grow, and explore the world is at the heart of everything we do. With a focus on measurable impact, The Library Project’s story began with a simple idea among friends, growing into a comprehensive initiative that supports rural elementary schools, orphanages, and community centers. Our dedication to improving education one book at a time has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the Corporate Social Responsibility Award from AmCham, and being named a Top-Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits from 2018 to 2024.
Companies can amplify their impact by partnering with The Library Project, contributing to the development of educational resources and literacy programs that transform rural communities. Individuals can support this cause through donations, directly funding libraries, children’s literacy bags, and teacher training programs to foster a love of reading and learning among children.
