View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is operating the ‘Next Day Immediate Loan Service’ using unmanned book loan machines to alleviate the inconvenience of book borrowing for residents due to the prolonged closure of libraries caused by COVID-19.
The ‘Next Day Immediate Loan Service’ allows residents to apply for book loans through the Gwangjin-gu public library website and mobile app from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then pick up the requested books using the unmanned book loan machines from 2 p.m. to midnight (24:00) the following day.
Additionally, up to 2 books per person can be borrowed for a maximum of 15 days, including the loan date.
Book returns can be made at any library through the book return boxes and unmanned return machines located at Gwangjin Information Library, Junggok Culture and Sports Center Library, Jayang Hangang Library, Guui 3-dong Library, and Jayang 4-dong Library.
If book returns are delayed, borrowing privileges will be suspended for a number of days equal to the overdue days multiplied by the number of borrowed books. Also, if the requested books are not picked up, the immediate loan service will be prohibited for 10 days per book, so users should be cautious.
The unmanned book loan machine is temporarily installed in the parking lot of the library building at Gwangjin Information Library in preparation for the remodeling construction planned for this year, and will be installed at the main entrance of the library for operation in the future.
