Yangsan Municipal Library's "Visiting Reading Culture Program" Receives Positive Response

High-Quality Reading Culture Programs Offered at 34 Small Libraries
Expanding Access to Cultural Opportunities for Local Residents

Yangsan Municipal Library in South Gyeongsang Province recruited participating institutions among local small libraries to promote the activation of small libraries and encourage reading among local residents. Since May, it has operated the "Visiting Small Library Reading Culture Program" for three months.

During this period, the municipal library held 47 sessions of eight different programs, including meetings with local authors Kim Eungsuk, Ko Yi, and Kwon Hyejin, special lectures on parenting with books, and puppet shows. A total of 676 Yangsan citizens, including children and adults, participated in these programs.

In particular, family puppet shows and children's plays were performed by "Byeolbit Iyagidan" and "Dugeundugeun Donghwanara" theater troupes, which were formed by graduates of the "Small Library Reading Activity Leader Training Project" commissioned by Yangsan Municipal Library. These performances, featuring stories inspired by Yangsan, received an enthusiastic response from the audience.
