Publication Promotion Institute Opens Reading Room in Sunchang Gochujang Iknun Village

The Korea Publication Culture Industry Promotion Agency announced on the 12th that it will open a Reading Love Room in Sunchang-gun Gochujang Ikneun Village and hold an opening ceremony as part of the ‘Urban-Rural Win-Win Regional Reading Culture Expansion’ project.

The ‘Urban-Rural Win-Win Regional Reading Culture Expansion’ was established for the mutual development of Jeollabuk-do and Jeonju City. The project aims to create Reading Love Rooms by supplying bookshelves, desks, chairs, and quality books to rural villages, enabling residents to enjoy a reading culture.

The opening of the Love Room is the first collaborative case introduced since the Publication Promotion Agency, located in Jeonbuk Innovation City, formed a sisterhood agreement with Gochang Book Village Haeri in August last year to revitalize the local reading culture.

An official from the Publication Promotion Agency said, “As a public institution relocated to the provinces, we have always been considering how to contribute to the development of the local community, and we hope that the ‘Urban-Rural Win-Win Regional Reading Culture Expansion’ will help activate local cultural activities.”

Choi Kwang-sik, chairman of Sunchang Gochujang Ikneun Village, stated, “This space was needed not only for visitors to our Gochujang Ikneun Village but also for village operators and local residents, so everyone has high expectations.”

The Publication Promotion Agency and Gochang Book Village Haeri plan to additionally establish 2 to 3 more Reading Love Rooms in villages located in Jeollabuk-do that are interested in reading activities.
