Created in Oryu 1 and 2-dong ... Equipped with conference tables, chairs, sinks, and heating and cooling facilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Sung) has opened two 'Our Neighborhood Book Club Rooms' to promote the activation of book clubs.

On the 22nd, Guro-gu announced, "To support book clubs that cannot operate due to lack of space, we have created book club rooms in two villas located in Oryu-dong, which were donated to the district."

'Our Neighborhood Book Club Rooms' include the 'Teotgol Book Chat Room' at 70-22, Gyeongin-ro 15-gil, Oryu 1-dong, with an area of 28㎡, and the 'Chikchik Bookbook' book club room at 27, Ori-ro 11-gil, Oryu 2-dong, measuring 31.68㎡. The district has also equipped each club room with about 50 general books, conference tables, chairs, sinks, heating and cooling facilities, and other amenities.

The rooms are available to local book club members or residents. Reservations can be made in advance by phone through the Guro-gu Cultural Tourism Department Library Team. Operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Usage is free of charge.

The opening ceremony was held on the 22nd in front of each book club room. To prevent COVID-19, only a minimal number of attendees participated, and events such as ribbon-cutting, commemorative photos, and rounds were held.

A Guro-gu official said, "We hope the book club rooms become spaces where residents can communicate with each other and engage in active reading activities," and added, "We ask that users strictly follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as wearing masks and washing hands."
