"Save the Forest in Crisis, Dispatch! Climate Defense Squad" is an interactive exhibition where children and adolescents become defenders protecting the Earth, carrying out missions, and saving forests. It is designed as a time to reflect on the seriousness of ecosystem destruction caused by the climate crisis. Park Bo-gyun, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, stated, "An environment must be established where all citizens can easily and conveniently visit and use libraries," adding, "We will improve and introduce public accessibility not only at the National Library for Children and Young Adults but also at the National Library of Korea."
