"Need to Operate Reading Culture Programs for People with Disabilities"

Im Jong-guk, Buk-gu Councilor, to Conduct Administrative Audit of Economic Welfare Committee on the 15th

Im Jong-guk, a member of the Gwangju Buk-gu Council, pointed out the absence of reading culture programs for people with disabilities in Buk-gu during the Economic Welfare Committee's administrative audit held on the 15th, emphasizing that diverse reading culture programs should be operated according to the types of disabilities.

Councilor Im stated, "The library department operates customized reading culture programs for various groups such as children, adults, and adolescents, but there are no programs for people with disabilities," adding, "Along with the significant increase in Buk-gu library infrastructure during the 7th and 8th local government terms, it is necessary to expand reading culture programs for people with disabilities who have been neglected so far."

He continued, "According to the '2022 Casebook on Reading Culture Program Operations for People with Disabilities' published by the National Library for Persons with Disabilities, several local governments operate diverse reading culture programs tailored to different types of disabilities," and urged, "Please refer to this casebook to properly develop and promote programs according to disability types such as visual, auditory, and developmental disabilities."
