Hoi An English Library is a non-profit run by international and Vietnamese volunteers. Five minutes by motorbike from the Old Town, it's a must-visit for expat families in Hoi An and Da Nang, and a regular weekend destination for Vietnamese parents from across Quang Nam province.
- 10,000+ titles: children's books (~40%), fiction, skills, textbooks, picture books.
- Completely free — only a 100,000đ deposit to borrow, refunded on return.
- Open 4 days/week (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat) — fits kids' school schedules.
- Conversation Hour: guided English chat between Vietnamese and expat kids (Saturday morning).
- Reading Buddy: pairs Vietnamese kids with native-speaker kids to read together.
- Craft & Story: bi-weekly craft + storytime in English.
- Volunteer English Tutoring for struggling students.
Great to combine with a Hoi An family trip — many Saigon/Hanoi families now treat it as a weekend destination instead of crowded tourist spots.
