Public library? Very interesting, because this thing is not in their culture --- not at all. But what's really in there? And is it free to enter or does one need a card?
There are free to use libraries everywhere. Of course, books that knock the Party or Uncle Ho aren't available, but there's enough quality literature to keep readers happy. You don't need a card to enter, only to borrow.
Vietnam's oldest public library dates to 1868. Here are photos of it today.

Hi Tim,
