You can now read books and study at the library too

Partial Reopening Expansion of Tongyeong City Library, Chungmu Library, and Public Small Libraries

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] From July 16, Tongyeong City in Gyeongnam expanded the partial reopening of Tongyeong City Library, Chungmu Library, and public small libraries (Anjeong, The Palace, Dara).

With the decrease in COVID-19 infections in the province and citizens' thorough compliance with infectious disease prevention guidelines, services that were previously limited to book lending and returns will now allow users to read books inside the reference rooms and open study rooms and digital resource rooms for convenience.

However, seating inside the libraries will be operated at one-third capacity, and the usage hours for study rooms and digital resource rooms will be limited from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Additionally, along with the expanded partial reopening of libraries, various reading culture programs will gradually be offered to citizens.

A library official expressed gratitude to citizens for actively cooperating with library use and infectious disease prevention, and requested that with the opening of study rooms and digital resource rooms, users continue to strictly wear masks, check their temperature, and fill out entry logs without any lapses.

Meanwhile, Sanyang Library will temporarily close from August 1 until April 2021 to transform into a "Children's Taste Library," a space where children can experience various foods of Tongyeong and engage their five senses.
