LH Gwangju Jeonnam, Successful Small Library Achievement Sharing Presentation

LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gwangju Jeonnam Regional Headquarters successfully concluded the Small Library Performance Sharing Presentation on the 7th.

According to LH Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters on the 8th, this presentation was organized to evaluate the activities of the small library revitalization project and to share various activities.

LH small libraries have transformed on-site libraries into community-oriented complex spaces, where residents voluntarily promote various activities such as cultural lectures, exchange events, and volunteer work, which is a major feature.

LH actively supports small libraries to establish themselves as hubs for complexes and local communities by hiring residents as library community managers and operating small library support centers.

The event was attended by 150 people, including Kim Kyung-jin, Director of LH Housing Welfare Business Division, Jeong Gi-won, Chairman of the Korea Small Library Association, LH small library directors, and community managers.

Meanwhile, during the small library performance sharing exhibition held last month, there was an opportunity to hear residents' opinions, including various comments such as “A place that pulled me out of a long tunnel, do only children dream?, a small library where happiness is at stake, I really liked discovering my talent through pencil sketching, the aroma oil class became a source of vitality in life, I really like meeting neighbors when I come to the library.”

Throughout 2023, the operation of small libraries was supported by local government small library and village community revitalization projects as well as LH small library revitalization projects.

Various programs were conducted through cooperative projects with public libraries, education offices, digital learning centers, and health life support centers.

Kim Kyung-jin, Director of the Housing Welfare Business Division, said, “At LH small libraries, various and enjoyable events such as healing horticulture, calligraphy, French embroidery, and keyring making are held with active participation and volunteering from residents,” adding, “We will continue systematic support so that LH small libraries can be a comfortable place for residents to interact and a catalyst to invigorate the complexes.”
