"We will actively support the Toy Library to reduce the economic burden on caregivers and operate as an open shared play space utilizing toys."

Lee Sang-geun, Governor of Goseong County, Gyeongnam, is listening to vivid on-site voices at the toy library.

Goseong County applied for the hub-type Toy Library project hosted by Gyeongsangnam-do last May and was selected as one of five locations in Gyeongnam Province. It has been receiving project funding for five years until 2027 to develop the Toy Library into a happy play space for families.

With this year’s project fund of 80 million KRW, the existing toy rental service for infants and toddlers based on developmental stages has been expanded into a public care service by operating ▲an expanded rental service of cognitive activity teaching aids for seniors ▲a toy delivery service to alleviate inconvenience for distant users ▲regional collaboration programs such as community-linked activation programs.

Additionally, starting in October, the Toy Library plans to operate by reservation system, transforming from a simple toy rental and program participation space into a place where parents and children can create memories by offering ▲a party room space for infants’ birthdays and other celebrations ▲Mom’s Hug Studio, a space for taking growth photos.

The governor said, "I hope the Toy Library becomes a space aligned with the goal of 'creating a childcare environment that is good for having and raising children' by reflecting caregivers’ inconveniences and operational shortcomings in the 2024 project."
