'It's My First Time with Independent Publications'... Millie's Library Recommends Books Monthly Until July

[Asia Economy Reporter Seo Mideum] The reading platform Millie's Library announced on the 21st that it will hold the special exhibition "It's My First Time with Independent Publications" until July. Every month, it plans to introduce various independent publications ranging from novels, essays, self-development books, poetry collections, magazines to postcards, and support the publication of e-books.

The curation is led by Lee Ji-hyun, CEO of Geumjonggak Design Studio. Based on her experience hosting Korea's largest independent publishing book fair, "Seoul Publishers Table," she will curate and introduce independent publications with different themes each month.

The theme for February is "First." It introduces books that are good for readers encountering independent publications for the first time. Selected February independent publications include ▲ "When I Hate the Bookstore" by author Taejae, an essay about experiences working as a bookstore clerk ▲ "Stores of Seoul's Employees Who Quit Within 3 Years" by the Broadcurly editorial team, offering a glimpse into the realities of bosses who boldly quit and started businesses ▲ "CEREAL BOOK" by author Achim, introducing all kinds of cereals in the world including how to eat them and ingredient explanations ▲ "Hospital Exploration" by author Choi Jun-hyuk, humorously recounting difficult times in the hospital ▲ "MUT" by author Kim Dong-hyun, featuring street fashion photos of elderly people.

Kim Tae-hyung, Head of Content Business at Millie's Library, said, "Millie's Library plans to actively support various independent publishing industries to promote independent publications smoothly and foster mutual growth. We will expand our network with independent publication authors and publishers to discover diverse content that can be linked with independent bookstores in the future."

To commemorate the opening of the independent publication special exhibition, Millie's Library is also holding an event where subscribers who leave a one-line review will receive a gift. Subscribers who read the February curated works and leave a one-line review by the 28th will be given a Starbucks Americano gift card.
