Book Delivery Service for You Staying Indoors Due to COVID-19!
Yeongdeungpo-gu Launches 'Dumunbulchul Book Loan' Service to Block COVID-19... Free Delivery of Loaned Books Until March 31... Up to 7 Books Per Person... Convenient Use of Public Library E-Books... Available to Registered Members on Website
[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is implementing a ‘Dumunbulchul Book Loan (Chaek Dream)’ service that enhances convenience for using e-books at district libraries as a preemptive COVID-19 quarantine measure, along with free home delivery of borrowed books.
As the closure period of libraries is extended due to the spread of COVID-19 and nationwide delays in the start of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools continue, this flexible measure aims to support students' home reading programs and actively respond to residents' demand for book loans.
First, the district is launching the ‘Dumunbulchul Book Loan (Chaek Dream)’ service, which delivers books free of charge to borrowers.
Residents who wish to use the ‘Dumunbulchul Book Loan (Chaek Dream)’ service can apply for loans on the Yeongdeungpo District Library website (www.ydplib.or.kr) and receive the borrowed books via courier service dispatched every Wednesday.
The service is available to regular members of the district library on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 600 people, with a maximum of 7 books delivered per person. Returned books can be returned using the external book return box at the library.
District library e-books can be accessed by registering as a member on the Yeongdeungpo District Library website and clicking ‘Go to e-Library’ under the ‘Digital Service’ menu.
Thus, residents can read e-books online or borrow physical books and have them delivered to their homes free of charge without needing to leave their homes.
The ‘Dumunbulchul Book Loan (Chaek Dream)’ service is scheduled to be temporarily available until March 31.
Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “To block community transmission of COVID-19, we have enabled residents to use library services comfortably and safely from home,” adding, “Through flexible responses suited to the crisis, we will realize a ‘Reading Yeongdeungpo’ in residents’ daily lives.”
