Gyeonggi Provincial Library will run the "Reading Stay" program through November, allowing people to enjoy both reading and cultural experiences at unique bookstores within the region.

Reading Stay is part of Gyeonggi-do's mobile reading culture project, "Reading On (ON) Gyeonggi." The program is open to outstanding participants in reading activities and volunteers recommended by city and county public libraries, as well as outstanding reading clubs selected by Gyeonggi Province.

The program first launched on the 25th at "Lalala House Bookstore" in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon city. Members of Suwon's outstanding reading clubs experienced both rest and literature through singing bowl meditation and a healing writing program.
