Kamco Opens 'KamcoBrary 24th Branch' in Nam-gu, Gwangju

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO) will hold the opening ceremony of the 'KAMCO Brary 24th Branch' at the Happy Local Children's Center located in Jinwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju on the 26th, attended by Moon Seongyu, President of KAMCO, Kim Byeongnae, Mayor of Nam-gu, and Park Heungseok, Chairman of the Gwangju Jeonnam Branch of the Korean Red Cross.

KAMCO Brary is a compound word of 'KAMCO' and 'library.' It is KAMCO's representative educational social contribution activity that remodels old spaces within local children's centers to create small libraries to improve the learning environment and support reading activities for children and adolescents. Starting with the first branch in Busan, where the headquarters is located, in 2015, KAMCO has opened the 24th KAMCO Brary in Nam-gu, Gwangju, following locations such as Seoul, Daegu, Daejeon, and Changwon.

The 24th KAMCO Brary was directly selected through an open recruitment process by the KAMCO Gwangju Jeonnam Regional Headquarters in collaboration with Nam-gu Office and the Korean Red Cross to identify local children's centers in need of a reading environment. For the opening, approximately 500 children's books were initially donated, and the facilities within the local children's center were refurbished to accommodate more than 2,000 books in the future. Necessary furnishings such as desks, chairs, and computers were also provided.

Additionally, over the next five years, KAMCO plans to systematically support book purchases, reading guidance, and cultural experience activities, as well as various social contribution activities such as workplace experiences for children and adolescents using the KAMCO Brary and talent donations by KAMCO employees.

Moon Seongyu, President of KAMCO, said, "I hope children and adolescents, who will be the future leaders, grow by encountering various books at the KAMCO Brary and dreaming bigger dreams." He added, "KAMCO will continue to gather the sincerity and talents of its employees to contribute broadly to the local community and expand the scope of sharing."
