[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Myung-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly representing Seo-gu Gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City from the Alternative New Party, announced on the 27th, "I will make Seo-gu a knowledge welfare city."


Candidate Kim Myung-jin stated, "A knowledge welfare city refers to a city that transcends the limits of material welfare to improve citizens' quality of life and realize happiness in life," adding, "We will enhance Seo-gu residents' access to information and satisfy their intellectual needs by signing an MOU for business cooperation between the Gwangju Representative Library, which is scheduled to be newly established on the site of the Sangmu incineration plant, and the National Assembly Library."


He promised, "Through the 'Small Library Expansion Project,' which utilizes idle spaces in public facilities such as community centers and private facilities in each neighborhood as small libraries, we will activate programs targeted at residents, parents, children, and youth, making these spaces serve as community salons and resting places for residents."


He added, "We will also install silver libraries in senior centers to provide the elderly with opportunities to enjoy leisure through reading, bringing us one step closer to becoming a knowledge welfare city."



Furthermore, he said, "By introducing the 'Bookstore-Library Linked Direct Lending System,' where residents can borrow new books for free from neighborhood bookstores and return them, after which local governments purchase these books for library collections, we will increase sales for local bookstores and provide residents with immediate access to new books, making Seo-gu both a knowledge welfare city and a city of distinguished libraries."
