Ulsan Library, Recommend This Year's Book... 2025 Contest

6 Categories for Children, Adolescents, and Adults

Ulsan Library is launching the ‘2025 Reading Ulsan, Book of the Year’ project and is calling for citizen-recommended books.

This project is jointly hosted by 21 public libraries to promote the reading culture in Ulsan. Among the books recommended by citizens and public library librarians, the books that citizens want will be selected as the ‘Book of the Year.’ Participants will read together, engage in discussions, and participate in various reading culture events such as author lectures and reading discussions.

Any Ulsan citizen can recommend books, and submissions can be made by visiting public libraries or online through the Ulsan Library website from December 10 to 24.

Recommended books should be categorized by age group: △Children (lower grades and upper grades) △Youth (literature and non-fiction) △Adults (literature and non-fiction). The books should be easy to read and relatable for the respective age group, engaging, and allow for various post-reading activities.

It is preferable that the books were published within the last three years and are appropriate for the current times. However, only single-volume books by domestic authors published in Korea are eligible; books with ideological, religious, or political biases, as well as out-of-print books, are excluded.

An official from Ulsan Library said, “Since the selected books will be read together by Ulsan citizens throughout 2025, sharing thoughts and feelings, we hope for much interest and participation.”
