Translation result. \"\uc721\ub3d9\ud55c\"Yuk Dong-han, a candidate for Chuncheon mayor, pledged to transform Chuncheon into \u201ca city where books flow and people flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a May 3 press release, Yuk said he would upgrade the North Public Library\u2014which the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recently judged \u201cappropriate\u201d in a preliminary feasibility review\u2014into a Chuncheon-style \u201cPlaza Library\u201d and reorganize the city\u2019s library network into neighborhood hubs focused on education, artificial intelligence, and caregiving.<\/p>\n

He said he will complete the Ministry of the Interior and Safety\u2019s local finance investment review, secure the city council\u2019s approval of the shared-property management plan, and obtain provincial funding in the second half of this year. He emphasized that the long-awaited North Public Library in the northern district will not be a mere reading room but a Chuncheon-style Plaza Library built on a threefold concept: a library set in a park, a plaza-style book market, and a wooden multiuse cultural center.<\/p>\n

Yuk also said he plans to introduce the spirit of the Little Free Library\u2014a citizen-run book-sharing model operating at roughly 150,000 sites across about 120 countries\u2014to Korea. He would establish a \u201cBook Market\u201d on the library\u2019s ground-floor plaza and rooftop garden where residents can donate books and anyone may take or swap them.
\"\uc721\ub3d9\ud55c\"<\/p>\n

Noting that Chuncheon is designated a timber-industry cluster city by the Korea Forest Service, he said he aims to make the North Public Library the first public building to apply Gangwon-sawn timber.<\/p>\n

He pledged to link roughly 40 libraries across Chuncheon\u2014large and small\u2014and reorganize them into an integrated network of three hubs for education, AI, and caregiving. He also pledged to expand the Chuncheon-style Great Books program through this library network so that students from early elementary school through high school can access free, life-stage programs for reading and discussing classic works.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the North Public Library is planned for the site at 454-1 Udu-dong with a total budget of 32.2 billion KRW (about $24.15 million). The facility will include one basement level and three aboveground floors, totaling roughly 5,000 square meters (about 53,820 sq ft), and is scheduled to open in 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
