On the 17th, Pohang City held the '2023 One Book One Pohang Annual Book Declaration Ceremony' at the POSTECH Park Tae-joon Academic Information Center.

The announcement ceremony was held at the POSTECH Library, which has been reborn as an open library, serving as a venue for harmony between Pohang City and POSTECH.

Pohang City's books of the year were selected through citizen recommendations and voting, followed by deliberation by the selection committee: in the children's category, "From Today, Baepeu! Beppeu!" (author Jian); in the youth category, "Hulhul" (author Moon Kyung-min); and in the general category, "People of Jecheoldong" (author Lee Jong-cheol).

Before the announcement of the books of the year, Pohang City and POSTECH held a business agreement ceremony to establish a mutually organic cooperative system, agreeing to promote win-win cooperation through sharing information and human resources, and supporting cultural events.

The ceremony began with a performance by POSTECH's band club "Bremen," followed by the POSTECH Library mascot "Irion" and citizens jointly announcing Pohang City's books of the year. The authors of the selected books also sent video messages, adding significance to the event.

Starting with this announcement ceremony, Pohang City Library plans to hold various reading culture events related to One Book, such as the One Book contest, meetings with authors, One Book quiz champions, and Reading Month events, to spread library culture to citizens.

A Pohang City official said, "We are grateful that many citizens participated in the Yearly Book Announcement Ceremony," and added, "Starting with this ceremony, we will do our best to spread a culture of reading books in the local community."
