Yongin City Launches "Sending Books to Overseas Koreans" Campaign

Yongin City is promoting a "Sending Books of Love to Overseas Koreans" campaign.

The city has urged active participation from local residents.

According to the city on the 21st, the campaign will be jointly promoted with the (Association) Overseas Koreans Book Sending Movement Association, encouraging voluntary participation from both civil servants and citizens.

Approximately 10,000 books will be selected from among those read and stored in households, and will be delivered to China, Paraguay, Haiti, Japan, and other countries.

Books will be collected until the 28th and will be sent in December this year so they can arrive as gifts of love to overseas Koreans.

The books include culture, history, philosophy, art, social sciences, and general knowledge works, as well as children's books such as fairy tales, biographies of great figures, poetry collections, and educational comic books.

Among these, books with recent publication dates and practical value will be acceptable.

However, periodicals, workbooks, simple comic books, books related to specific religions, and books with adult or violent content are excluded.

Civil servants and social organization members can participate in the "one person, one book" donation campaign, and citizens can visit township and county offices, dong community centers, and public libraries to donate or place books in collection boxes.
