Reading Picnic" event, prepared to provide a unique reading experience in daily life in celebration of September's Reading Month, is gaining popularity among citizens.

The Reading Picnic is a service that lends picnic book bundles so that family units can enjoy autumn with books in nearby forests and parks. It was prepared to offer an outdoor activity atmosphere during the COVID-19 situation.

Among these, the DIY experience kit includes a video tutorial on how to easily follow the making process outdoors, provided together with a QR code.

The Reading Picnic package is lent on a first-come, first-served basis to five families every Sunday from 9 a.m. at the 2nd floor children's materials room of Hope Library until the end of November. Any library member can apply.

The rental period is one week. Except for the DIY experience kit, the other items must be returned to the library by 5 p.m. on the following Saturday. Returned picnic items and books are safely disinfected in compliance with quarantine rules before being lent to the next person.
