Gyeonggi Province to Host "Relay Lectures by Prominent Speakers" at 14 Libraries and Cultural Spaces

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

The Gyeonggi Provincial Government will host a series of communication-based relay lectures by prominent speakers at libraries in 14 cities and counties—including Gimpo, Gwacheon, and Seongnam—through November in a bid to spread a reading culture throughout the province.

The lecture topics will span a variety of fields such as brain science, architecture, literature, music, environment, and history. Notable speakers include neuroscientist Jang Dong-sun; Professors Kim Kyung-il and Jeong Jaeseung; architect Seung Hyo-sang; music critic Im Jinmo; and authors Kim Gyeoul, Cheon Seon-ran, and Hong Dagyeong.

The detailed topics and schedules for each lecture will be coordinated by library, depending on local demand and spatial conditions. Details on how to participate and other information can be found on the 'Reading Culture Promotion in Gyeonggi Province' section under the Lifelong Reading menu on the Gyeonggi Provincial Library website (library.kr), as well as at the respective city and county libraries.

Yoon Myeonghee, Director of the Gyeonggi Provincial Library, stated, "Rather than a one-off special lecture, this program was designed so that residents can experience books, lectures, discussions, and cultural activities together centered around the library." She added, "We aim to boost participation among existing library users, while also providing opportunities for those who do not visit libraries regularly to experience them, thus further spreading a culture of reading in daily life."
