Lorn Collection promotes reading culture for children in Hanoi

In Hanoi, the Lorn Collection tea and comic book shop has become a dedicated space for children to engage with reading culture. Founded by Nguyen Thi An, the shop houses nearly five tons of books and comics.

An established the space after discovering the therapeutic benefits of reading while supporting her child, who faces developmental challenges. The initiative aims to provide a communal environment that encourages children to move away from smartphones and television toward physical books and storytelling.
