Our collection
Đất Nước Library is specialist library with a focus on writers from Vietnam and the diaspora.
The collection began from humble beginnings with members of the Đất Nước Collective purchasing and donating their own titles to the library.
We will be growing the collection in the coming months and are interested in acquiring fiction, non-fiction, serials (e.g. journals, magazines etc.) critical theory, poetry, childrens’ books and zines.
You can browse through our current collection via our online library catalogue. Items with location ‘Shop Bao Ngoc’ will be available for borrowing (see below).

Donations
We are always on the lookout for English and Vietnamese language texts written by Vietnamese writers and artists.
We will happily accept books and zines that are in decent condition and keep with the intentions of the library.
If the books are not suitable for our intended purposes, we will look to donate them elsewhere or give them away.
Please email us if you would like to donate to the collection.
