The Baesan Small Library in Busan, which opened on this day, is the 85th small library sponsored by KB Kookmin Bank. It is a small library newly remodeled to allow comfortable use of a deteriorated library. In particular, it was remodeled using eco-friendly wood and a book sterilizer was installed.
