OB Beer to Open 8th 'Happiness Library' in Haenam, Jeollanam-do

Typhoon-Damaged 'Jusarang Community Child Center' Selected... Facility Renovation Provides Safe Educational Environment

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] OB Beer announced on the 23rd that it has selected the ‘Jusarang Regional Children's Center’ located in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, as the 8th ‘Happy Library.’

‘Happy Library’ is OB Beer's social contribution program that renovates underdeveloped regional children's centers with the latest facilities and provides educational materials and books free of charge. It has been carried out for five years since 2016 to improve the learning environment for local children who need after-school care.

OB Beer received stories from regional children's centers nationwide and selected the eighth ‘Happy Library’ in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, where urgent facility repairs are needed due to consecutive typhoon damages this summer. The ‘Jusarang Regional Children's Center,’ where about 30 students live after school, has suffered roof damage and building leaks caused by Typhoons Bavi and Maysak, causing inconvenience.

OB Beer plans to provide a safer and more comfortable educational environment for the children by remodeling the aging center's learning space, repairing the roof, and carrying out waterproofing work to restore typhoon damage by November.

Kim Mi-seon, director of Jusarang Regional Children's Center, said, “We were very worried because the learning environment deteriorated due to typhoon damage, but OB Beer's support has eased our concerns. I can already picture the children happily studying in the clean library.”

Since 2016, OB Beer has opened a total of seven Happy Libraries in Seoul, Cheongju, Gwangju, and other locations, and the cumulative number of books donated to regional children's centers nationwide has reached 3,000 volumes.
