The Future School Library Space Innovation Project of Jeonbuk Education Office is showing tangible results. Among the 56 schools selected this year, 28 schools have completed construction by October and are gradually opening their doors.

The 'Byeolmuri Book Forest Library' at Jeonju Samcheonnam Elementary School, which opened on the 1st, presented a library model that involves the local community, with students, parents, teachers, and local residents attending. The layout connected to the first-floor reading rest area, creative elements such as a compliment whale mirror and large bear dolls were incorporated, designed based on feedback from students, parents, and teachers.

This month, schools like Jeongeup Nam Elementary School with the 'Gomnuri Library' (Gomgom Reading, Gomdarak Play, Gomjirak Creativity, Gom Book Road Strolling Space), Jeonju Pyeonghwa Elementary School with the 'hhh Library' (Together, Rest, Curiosity Concept), and Jeonju Seongsim Middle School with the 'Starry Library' (Emotional interior and connected to the church landscape) are opening one after another, each reflecting the unique characteristics of the respective schools.

The Education Office stated that once the 28 schools complete their openings in October, they will expand library utilization classes to establish themselves as hubs for creative learning and reading education. The remaining 28 schools are also scheduled to open before the winter break, aiming to achieve the goal of 56 schools by the end of the year.

Kang Yang-won, the head of the Department of Literature, Art, and Health, said, "Future-oriented libraries that reflect the characteristics of each school, such as the 'Byeolmuri Book Forest Library' at Samcheonnam Elementary School, are opening one after another," adding, "We will actively support school libraries to become focal points for student growth."
