[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gimcheon City announced on the 25th that it has been selected for the Small Library Circulating Librarian Support Project for three consecutive years.

The Small Library Circulating Librarian Support Project, hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korea Library Culture Promotion Foundation, is a project aimed at enhancing the quality of small library operations through support for professional operating personnel and establishing a cooperative linkage base between public libraries and small libraries within the region.

Accordingly, full operational expenses including personnel costs will be supported. This year, two circulating librarians are scheduled to be hired. Applications are being accepted in person or by mail at the municipal library until the 28th.

The finally selected circulating librarians will, after completing designated training, support library operations such as basic practical training, book management, and planning reading programs by moving between five small libraries in the district and the municipal library from March to November.

Baek Seon-ju, director of Gimcheon Municipal Library, said, "Through the support of circulating librarians again this year, we will smoothly operate small libraries and provide high-quality services to residents, showing further growth as a local cultural community space."
