[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will hold the '3rd Gyeomjae Book Street Festival' on the 10th.

The Gyeomjae Book Street Festival is a unique 'spring book festival' in Jungnang-gu where visitors can walk along the cherry blossom path on the embankment of Jungnangcheon Stream and experience various book-related activities. This year, to ensure a safe festival amid COVID-19, both online and offline formats will be conducted simultaneously.

The online events can be watched live through the Jungnang-gu Office YouTube channel.

Programs for growing children include the online Children's Reading Golden Bell (11 AM to 12 PM) and the traditional fairy tale musical 'Banggujaengi Myeoneuri' (The Farting Daughter-in-Law) (2 PM to 2:50 PM).

Programs for adults are also prepared. Through the online Mind Counseling Room with author Kim Yoo-eun, who wrote 'You Don't Have to Be a Good Person to Everyone!' (3 PM to 4:30 PM), residents' concerns will be addressed. Additionally, author Choi Seung-pil, who wrote the bestseller 'Study-Head Reading Method,' will give a lecture on feasible and sustainable reading education.

Offline programs will take place near the Gyeomjae Small Library. In the community housing village of Myeonmok-dong (Gyeomjae-ro 71, Gyeomjae-ro 73), themed as a book-reading street, visitors can find the Jungnang-gu Public Library promotional booth (11 AM to 6 PM).

On the walking trail near the library, the 2113 Book Exchange Exhibition (11 AM to 6 PM) allows exchanging two used books for one new book, up to three books per person, along with street busking performances (2 PM to 4 PM) to enjoy.

All offline events will strictly follow social distancing level 2 and quarantine guidelines, prioritizing the safety of residents.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "I hope residents who have found it difficult to enjoy cultural life due to COVID-19 can feel a small moment of relaxation through this festival," and added, "I hope the whole family can fully immerse themselves in the joy that reading brings on this warm spring day."
