[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Gwangyang Lifelong Education Center announced on the 10th that it will expand the operation of book curation and various information provision services to create a local culture of communication through books.

Book curation is a compound word of book and curation, referring to selecting and recommending books according to the user's desired direction and theme.

Starting this month, Gwangyang Lifelong Education Center recommends books reflecting the latest trends such as environment, health, and friendship every month, while also operating exhibitions both online and offline.

Since January, the number of loans per person has been significantly increased from 5 to 10 books, and night reservation loan services have been provided. In addition, the desired book immediate service has been expanded from twice a month to once a week.

Also, to provide users with the latest general knowledge and cultural information in various forms, an electronic magazine service was added to the electronic newspaper kiosk inside the education center starting in February.

Director Seungheon Seon said, “We will always strive to provide quality reading opportunities to students and local residents who find it difficult to visit the education center due to the COVID-19 situation.”

The book curation book list and videos can be checked on the website.
