OB Beer Opens 10th 'Haengbok Library' in Uljin, Gyeongbuk

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] OB Beer announced on the 29th that it has opened the 10th branch of the 'Happy Library,' which supports after-school learning for children in the Uljin area of Gyeongsangbuk-do.

The Happy Library is OB Beer's representative social contribution program that supports the interior remodeling of underdeveloped local children's centers and provides educational materials and books free of charge. It has been ongoing for seven years since 2016 to improve the learning environment for local children who need after-school care.

OB Beer selected the 'Uljin Local Children's Center' as the tenth Happy Library to support children experiencing emotional difficulties due to the large-scale wildfire that occurred last month. A container installed on the outdoor deck was renovated into an outdoor library, and an open shelter, shade, and artificial turf were installed to create a comfortable learning environment where children can read books leisurely and rest safely.

OB Beer donated 181 recommended children's books through KidsSchole, an educational content company and subsidiary of Daekyo, and additionally donated about 100 books through an internal employee event. The total number of books donated by OB Beer to the Happy Library so far amounts to 4,000.

An OB Beer official said, "Since the completion of the first Happy Library in 2016, we have continuously strived to provide a safe environment for children," adding, "We will continue to actively work so that children, the future leaders, can nurture their dreams and hopes in a safe environment."
