Dobong Geological Library Operates 'I Am Also a Book Curator' Program

Operation of Online Book Curation to Promote Participatory Reading Culture Among Local Residents

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) Dobong Cultural Foundation Dobong Miracle Library operates the ‘I am also a Book Curator’ program, where local residents become book curators and introduce books they have personally selected online.

‘Book curation’ is a compound word of Book and Curation, meaning selecting and recommending books suitable for a specific theme or readership.

The district plans to produce video content introducing books selected by local residents who become book curators, and post and promote the content through Dobong Miracle Library’s Instagram, KakaoTalk channel, and YouTube.

Applicants can apply on the Dobong-gu Integrated Library website, and by writing a book introduction on the application page, five people will be selected. The library will then film and edit individual introduction videos and post the content.

Applications are accepted from January 13 to January 27, and the selection results will be individually notified on January 29.

For more details, please check the Dobong-gu Integrated Library website.

Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, “We expect this to be an opportunity for residents who cannot visit bookstores or libraries due to COVID-19 to encounter good books,” adding, “We will continue to strive to spread reading culture through various participatory reading programs.”
