The Wadong Education Library operates the reading robots 'LUCA' and 'Reading Cat' on a regular basis to help children develop interest in books and naturally form reading habits. These robots feature interactive functions that read books to children in an engaging manner, tailored to their level of understanding.

In particular, starting this month, 'LUCA' began offering a device lending service to local kindergartens and daycare centers, attracting significant interest with applications for the first half of the year closing early.

Additionally, the children's section is equipped with a learning space utilizing the digital learning system 'MilkT', providing a variety of educational content linked to the school curriculum. Through this, the library is expanding its role beyond a simple reading area to a digital, experience-based learning space.

Furthermore, beginning in April, a 'MilkT-Linked Reading and Essay Program' will be held every Saturday for a total of four sessions. By combining reading, discussion, and writing activities, the program aims to improve children's logical thinking and expressive skills, as well as support the development of self-directed learning capabilities.

Those interested in participating in the program can apply through the Ansan City integrated reservation system starting at 10 a.m. on March 24.

Mayor Lee Minguen of Ansan City stated, "I hope that children will come to see the library as both an enjoyable playground and a place of learning through the reading infrastructure enhanced with the latest technology," adding, "We will continue to develop creative reading and learning models to support the growth of children."
