Song Kyunghee, director of the city library, said, "This program not only provides an opportunity for citizens to record their lives in writing, but will also serve as a chance to enhance their democratic communication skills and cultural sensitivity," adding, "I hope citizens will discover the joy of writing in everyday life and naturally participate in a culture of reading."
