This pledge was prepared to foster creative and interdisciplinary future talent necessary for the AI era. The plan is for students to choose their own books, which will strongly motivate them to read, and in turn, develop their critical reflection skills to maximize educational benefits.

In addition, the 'Reading Seongnam' vision will be declared, and policies to make reading a daily habit for citizens will be actively pursued.

To support this, the expansion of easily accessible e-libraries is under review. Furthermore, efforts are underway to strengthen public libraries, revitalize small libraries, and establish specialized libraries such as hospital libraries and music libraries.

Candidate Kim Byungwook emphasized, "This support policy is the most valuable investment in the AI era, gifting books to students and a brighter future to Seongnam."
