‘Library Wisdom School’ is a public project hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korean Library Association. It was promoted to encourage wise senior living for the middle-aged generation and to spread the social value of the humanities, and in March, Gijang Library was selected as a participating library.
