Busan Library Detailed Space Naming Contest

A Name with Symbolism and Popularity as Busan's Representative Library

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Yoseop] Busan City is holding a nationwide contest to name the detailed spaces of the Busan Library, which is under construction and scheduled to open in the second half of this year.

According to Busan City on the 18th, the name of the library was finalized as 'Busan Library' based on a 2016 preference survey of Busan citizens.

The detailed spaces open to citizens include nine indoor areas: ▲meeting rooms ▲a small theater for cultural performances and author lectures ▲children's room ▲materials room I containing literary resources ▲club room ▲materials room II housing general materials and foreign books ▲Busan studies materials room ▲lecture room ▲and rooftop garden.

As the opening of Busan Library approaches, Busan City is soliciting ideas from the entire nation to increase public interest and encourage friendly use. The finalized names will be used for signage installation inside the library before its completion in May.

The submission period is until the 28th, and anyone can participate. Applicants can download the proposal form from the Busan City website, fill it out, and submit it via email.

The selection results will be announced on the 16th of next month after preliminary and final evaluations based on internal criteria. Winners will receive a prize in the form of Onnuri gift certificates.

Oh Keo-don, Mayor of Busan, said, "Holding a contest to name the detailed spaces of Busan Library reflects our commitment to creating it together with citizens down to the smallest details," and added, "We ask for much interest and active participation for the birth of Busan Library as a playground of creativity and imagination as a citizen participation space."

Located in Deokpo-dong, Sasang-gu, Busan Library is being built with two basement floors and four above-ground floors and is scheduled to open in September.
