[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) held a vision proclamation ceremony for ‘Geumcheon, a happy book-reading city created together’ on the 2nd at Geumnarae Art Hall.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the district conducted the event with a minimal number of attendees and provided an online live broadcast via YouTube and Facebook for residents who could not attend.

The proclamation ceremony began with a pre-event performance by the Geumcheon Symphony Orchestra, followed by the opening and national anthem, introduction of guests, commendation of meritorious persons, commemorative speeches, and congratulatory speeches. Afterwards, the vision video for ‘Book-reading City Geumcheon’ was screened, followed by a vision proclamation performance.

Taking this vision proclamation as an opportunity to achieve ‘Reading that leads change in myself and the community,’ the district will promote 10 major agendas and 30 tasks derived from four strategies: ▲Space ? Reading anywhere ? Reading spaces enjoyed by all ▲Time ? Reading anytime ? Reading as the center of daily life ▲People ? Reading together ? Residents who read and create books together ▲Future ? Future reading ? Reading that responds to environmental changes.

Based on the steadily implemented reading culture activation projects so far, the district plans to establish a ‘Mid-term Plan for Reading Culture Activation’ by 2023, and promote various projects such as ▲Construction of Geumcheon-gu’s representative library ▲Daily 20-minute reading donation ▲Support for reading clubs ▲Establishment of OnStage.

Yu Seong-hoon, mayor of Geumcheon-gu and chairman of the Korea Reading Cities Association, said, “We are conducting various discussions with member cities of the Korea Reading Cities Association to foster a culture of reading,” and added, “We will spare no support to communicate and cooperate with residents to spread the joy and value of reading and to leap forward as ‘Reading Geumcheon, a cultural city.’”
