[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Jinju City in Gyeongnam held an opening ceremony on the 4th for the newly renovated 'Innovation Children's Library,' which was temporarily operated inside the Jinju Sports Complex during the remodeling of the Yeonam Library.

The Innovation Children's Library spans 350㎡ and is equipped with 50 reading seats, a materials room for infants and children, and a nursing room.

It also houses approximately 37,000 books, including children's books, English books, and educational books, supporting reading activities for children as well as parents concerned about their children's education.

However, due to social distancing measures caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), facility use has been suspended and will reopen once the situation is resolved.

For the time being, an 'Safe Reservation Loan Service' is being implemented, allowing users to apply for book loans through the library website and then pick up the books at the library entrance.

Jinju Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, "I hope the Innovation Children's Library will satisfy the reading and cultural needs of families with children in the eastern region, serve as a communication space for local residents, and bring vitality to lives exhausted by COVID-19."
