Gyeonggi Provincial Library to Offer "Library Tour with Local Narrators" Program in September

Gyeonggi Provincial Library will operate the "Gyeonggi Provincial Library Tour with Local Narrators" program from September 1 to September 17.

In July, Gyeonggi Provincial Library trained 31 local narrators through the "Library School," a program in which residents directly plan and manage library tour content. The library tour consists of a total of 19 sessions, including 12 general tours, 4 AI program tours, and 3 World Friends Book Village book reading programs. Each tour accommodates 4 to 10 participants per session, depending on the program.

The local narrators will introduce participants to the library’s spaces, major facilities, and stories about books and libraries, while sharing the values and experiences they learned at Library School.

Myunghee Yoon, Director of Gyeonggi Provincial Library, stated, "Gyeonggi Provincial Library is more than just a place to read books and obtain information; it is a public forum where local residents can meet, share ideas, and build together. We will continue to develop the Gyeonggi Provincial Library as a space co-created with our residents."
