Goheung County Library Supports E-Book Reading

Supporting Convenient Reading Life Anytime, Anywhere

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that starting from the 16th, it will accept e-book (e-Book) requests at the Goheung-gun Public Library's electronic library to support non-face-to-face online reading activities.

Applications are open to all Goheung residents. After registering as a library member, individuals can access the Goheung-gun Public Library electronic library and request up to 3 e-books per person per month.

Analysis of 2,746 e-books borrowed from the Goheung-gun Public Library last year showed that the most borrowed e-book was the 2019 "Today's Writer Award" winning science fiction novel by author Kim Cho-yeop, "If We Cannot Move at the Speed of Light." The story feels like watching an SF movie while addressing discrimination against minorities such as people with disabilities and women.

Following this were ▲ "A Joke About Wanting to Live" (Heo Ji-woong, Woongjin Knowledge House), ▲ "Summer Villa" (Baek Su-rin, Munhakdongne), ▲ "Money Study at Forty" (Lee Ui-sang, Dasan Books), ▲ "When I Don't Even Know What I Want" (Jeon Seung-hwan, Dasan Chodang), among others.

The Goheung-gun Public Library holds a total of 4,358 commercial e-book titles, which can be accessed in real-time anytime and anywhere via PC or smartphone app (Kyobo Book Centre Electronic Library) without restrictions on time or place.

A county official said, "We will strive to expand the Goheung-gun Public Library's e-books so that Goheung residents can enjoy safe and convenient reading opportunities anytime and anywhere."
