The festival featured reading-related experience booths with autumn themes, such as making autumn fruit garlands, crafting wish moon lamps, creating autumn pressed flower bookmarks, and making songpyeon soap.

Participants experienced the joy of books through activities inspired by picture book stories, and spent time fostering conversation and bonding within their families. After completing the activities, they collected stamps and received commemorative gifts, adding to the fun of the event.

One student said, "What I remember most is reading the 'Moon Rabbit' picture book with my dad and making a full moon lamp. I hope the wish I wrote on the full moon will come true."

Jung Deokwon, Superintendent of Education, stated, "This family book festival was a place of learning where families, schools, and the community could grow together through reading. We will continue to expand various reading programs where students can enjoy books and parents and the local community can participate together."

Meanwhile, the Mokpo Office of Education plans to use this autumn festival as an opportunity to regularize seasonal family reading events, strengthen collaboration with local libraries and reading-related organizations, and promote the 'Mokpo-style reading culture of reading and growing together.'
