[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Thirteen public libraries under the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will implement a 'Book Reservation Loan Service' starting from the 27th.

This service allows users to reserve a book for loan when the desired book is currently checked out, enabling them to borrow the book as soon as it is returned.

Book reservations can be made on the website of the library where the user wishes to borrow the book, and reserved books can be borrowed contactlessly at the 'Book Reservation Loan Machine' located in each library.

Reservations can be made for up to two books per person that are currently on loan, and once the reserved book is returned, a notification text message will be sent. After receiving the notification, users must pick up the book at the 'Book Reservation Loan Machine' of the library where they made the reservation within 4 days.

For more details, please refer to the respective library's website or contact the responsible reference room of each library or the Citizen Library Information and Culture Division.

Cheon Jeong-suk, Director of the Citizen Library, said, "The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education's public libraries have introduced a safe and convenient contactless book loan service for Busan citizens," adding, "We will continue to make efforts so that Busan citizens can make reading a part of their daily lives."

The libraries implementing the service are Simin, Jungang, Jungang Sujeong Branch, Busan English, Gupo, Haeundae, Haeundae Udong Branch, Saha, Bansong, Gudeok, Seodong, Yeonsan, and Myeongjang Libraries.
