KAMCObrary is a compound word combining "KAMCO" and "library." It is KAMCO’s social contribution project, which renovates outdated spaces in community child centers to create small libraries, thereby supporting improvements in children's learning environments and their reading activities.


The opening ceremony was attended by Cheon Sungmin, Head of the KAMCO Human Resources Development Institute; Lee Kangcheol, Head of KAMCO's Daejeon-Chungnam Regional Headquarters; An Geumseon, Director of Childcare at Asan City; and Lee Honggu, Vice President of the Korean Red Cross Chungnam Branch, who congratulated the launch of the new library.


KAMCO refurbished unused spaces within the Bangchuk Community Child Center and provided equipment such as air conditioners, desks, and bookshelves to ensure children could enjoy reading activities in a more comfortable environment. In addition, to help children and adolescents develop healthy reading habits, the company donated approximately 400 books and plans to support the purchase of new books and reading guidance programs for the next five years.



Jung Junghoon, CEO of KAMCO, stated, "I hope that KAMCObrary will become not just a reading space but also a place for learning and communication for local children. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate with the local community to provide various forms of support, so that future generations can grow up in a stable environment."
