‘School Libraries Like This’ … Busan Office of Education Conducts Support Consulting

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will conduct ‘School Library Support Hub School Consulting’ for 89 elementary, middle, high, and special schools by the end of this year to revitalize the operation of school libraries.

The consulting aims to enhance the quality of library operations through on-site support centered on school libraries and librarian teachers, and to utilize school libraries as spaces for student reading activities based on this foundation.

To ensure smooth consulting operations, the Busan Office of Education recruited 29 librarian teachers with experience as consultants and work experience related to improving reading environments as consultants.

They will visit schools directly and conduct consulting divided into two areas: ▲library operation and ▲reading environment improvement.

The ‘library operation’ area provides guidance on overall school library operations, including planning and operating school library-related events, running reading culture programs, and managing collections. It also shares work information such as tasks and know-how related to school library remodeling.

Seong So-yeon, head of the Planning and Coordination Division at the Busan Office of Education, said, “Consulting by librarian teachers with extensive experience in school library work will greatly help the operation of libraries in school sites,” and added, “We will continue to support the operation of school libraries in a substantial way by reflecting the demands of the field.”
