Bustling market of textbooks and school supplies

Currently, it is the time for students to have summer vacation, but it is also the time when establishments operating in the field of supplying textbooks, school supplies, stationery... prepare goods to meet people's shopping needs. At book stores and agents such as Fahasa, Hoang Long, ZoZo (Vinh Yen)... textbooks, reference books, comics, school supplies with full range of types and eye-catching colors attract many students and parents to visit and shop.

Although it has only been on the market for nearly 2 years, ZoZo Bookstore, Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, Lien Bao Ward (Vinh Yen) has become a trusted shopping address for books, school supplies, and stationery for many parents, students, agencies, and units in the area.

At ZoZo Bookstore, the space for displaying goods and products is airy and spacious with a floor area of up to 400 m2. In particular, there are many types of reference books, good and unique comic books for students to collect and add to their bookshelves and study corners.

Ms. Tran Thanh Loan, Lien Bao Ward (Vinh Yen) said: “Before, when there was no ZoZo Bookstore, I often went to small bookstores in the area to buy books and stories for children. However, up to now, I prioritize this bookstore because of the large and diverse number of books and stories that fully meet the shopping needs of the people. Here, the bookstore also sells many assembly model games that help develop children's creativity and intelligence, so my children are very excited when their parents bring them here. The prices of the products are reasonable and competitive in the market, so I feel secure when I come to buy books and school supplies for my children."

Mr. Nguyen Viet Tung, manager of ZoZo Bookstore, said: “From the beginning of the summer, the bookstore system has prepared a large number of textbooks and reference books of all levels to serve the shopping needs of people. In addition to textbooks, at this time, parents focus on buying more books to practice skills and review summer for their children, so the purchasing power is very active. At the same time, on this occasion, we also focus on investing in comics and children's books so that when children come here, they can comfortably sit and read books and stories, relaxing in the green space of the bookstore...”.

With a business area of hundreds of square meters, ZoZo Bookstore has a full range of stationery items, diverse designs, supplied by branded manufacturers such as Deli, Hai Ha, Casio, Hong Ha, Thien Long... ensuring both quality and suitability to the needs and budgets of the people.

According to Mr. Tung, currently, most parents order textbooks from schools for their children. Therefore, in addition to supplying and distributing textbooks to schools, ZoZo Bookstore also reserves 100 - 300 sets of textbooks of all kinds for retail sale at the store. The textbooks are mainly taken from publishers such as Canh Dieu, Ket Ket Tri Thuc, Doi Moi Sang Tao... to ensure quantity and market demand, and to avoid the situation of "running out" of books before the new school year.

Regarding the textbook market this school year, according to Mr. Tung, basically the types of books have not changed much. The selling price tends to be 4-5% cheaper because publishers have strong competition in the market. At the same time, bookstores are also working hard with suppliers to get the best prices for agents and people with special incentives.

To avoid buying fake, poor quality textbooks, in recent years, parents have sought out large, reputable stores and bookstores to buy books, school supplies, and stationery for their children. To ensure supply, distributors, agents, and bookstores are always proactive in sourcing goods, increasing human resources to supply books to the market and to schools.

At Vinh Phuc School Equipment and Books Company (Vinh Yen), the atmosphere of shopping for textbooks and school supplies has also started to become lively these days. The company has arranged and placed textbooks, reference books, and school supplies in separate, eye-catching areas, packaged into sets, with specific and public prices listed for parents and students to easily choose from...

In order to select and supplement textbooks suitable to local conditions and avoid a shortage of textbooks before the new school year, the Education sector has issued a Plan to select additional textbooks from grades 1 to 12 for use in general education institutions in the province.

Coordinate with units that have textbooks and have been approved by the Ministry of Education and Training to provide links to read textbooks to 100% of general education institutions at each level; guide schools in selecting additional textbooks from grades 1 to 12 for use in the 2025-2026 school year.

Widely inform the decision to approve the list of additional textbooks from grades 1 to 12 used in each educational institution; summarize and register the number of textbooks and notify the suppliers to best prepare for students to have books before the new school year begins...
