The library "Humanities on the Road" project is a program that creates a new reading culture space where books, people, and sites meet to promote the everyday and practical use of humanities centered around libraries, with over 300 institutions nationwide participating.

Gurye-gun Maechun Library plans to conduct two programs linking lectures and explorations for this year's library "Humanities on the Road" program from the 18th of this month to October 30th.

The first program is an exploration tour of the hidden beautiful historical sites of Gurye during its old name period, Bongseong, in Gurye-eup.

This program allows participants to appreciate local cultural heritage classified into elemental forms such as soil, stones, and rocks?the sources of life?amid changes in time and seasons, and to express "Exploration of Gurye in the Bongseong Era - Bongseong Scenic Spots" as images (patterns). It will be held 16 times from the 22nd to October 30th, targeting children and youth from multicultural families.

The second program conducts monitoring, archiving, and reflection on the ecology of shared resources such as Jirisan Mountain and the Seomjin River.

Through this, the program aims to newly envision "Jirisan is Alive - Writing Jirisan Ecology with the Whole Body," and will be held 10 times for adults from the 18th to July 28th.

Lee Gwang-dong, Acting Governor of Gurye-gun, said, "Maechun Library has been fulfilling its role as a regional information center by providing various humanities programs and reading environments to the residents of Gurye." He added, "Through the library 'Humanities on the Road' project, we hope to reestablish the library's status as a complex cultural space where local culture can be experienced, and to create an opportunity for community members to communicate and empathize with each other."
