Gokseong County, South Jeolla Province (Governor Cho Sangrae), announced on the 19th that it will hold a special reading culture event for local children and residents on April 12 to celebrate Library Day and the first anniversary of the Gokseong Children's Library.

Since its opening on April 12 last year, the Gokseong Children's Library has offered various programs to promote reading culture in the region, such as 'Meeting with Picture Book Authors,' 'Library Reading Culture' performances, and immersive fairy tale experiences. As a result, the library has established itself as a representative cultural facility in Gokseong, with approximately 28,000 local residents and tourists using the library over about nine months last year.

This event is organized under the official theme of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, 'Seeds that Grow Dreams, Planted in the Library,' to enhance understanding and interest in libraries and encourage their use. The event will be held in the format of a library stamp tour, making it more enjoyable for participants to explore the library. Advance registration is available on the library's website, and on-site registration is also possible on the day of the event.

Main events include: ▲Meeting with author Seo Hyun of the Bologna Ragazzi Award-winning picture book 'Horengtteokjip' ▲'Beethoven Reading Pictures,' a classical music performance with a curator ▲'Cake with Flowing Paint,' a collaborative floating art project ▲'Great Escape from the Four-Dimensional Dinosaur World' VR experience ▲Planting taro together, and other diverse reading culture programs. In addition, at the library yard, participants can enjoy various hands-on activities such as traditional games featured in 'Ojingeo Game,' an outdoor library, and the 'Chaekchaekbbangbbang' book bus.

An official from the Gokseong Children's Library said, "We hope that, in celebration of Library Day, children will have the opportunity to explore every corner of the library and become more familiar with it."
