It is winter vacation. Although it is good to make up for the lagging subjects and do prior study, teachers and experts agree that it is a good time to devote more time to reading that was insufficient during the semester. Ahn Soo-yeon, a reading instructor, head of the Korea Center for Human Resources Development, emphasizes, “Reading is the best way to improve integrated thinking skills, increase concentration, improve learning skills, and increase self-directed learning skills, writing skills, and vocabulary.”
The library is closed
All public libraries are closed due to Corona 19. However, if you use the reserved loan system operated by almost all libraries, you can borrow any number of books. If you search for a book you want to borrow from the library website and apply for a loan through the phone or the Internet, you can get it at the library the same day or the next day. In the case of Incheon Central Library, if you apply for a loan between 9 am and 4 pm, you can receive up to 2 books at the Smart Library on the first floor of the library between 6 and 8 pm on the same day or between 9 am and 4 pm the next day. It can be extended to 7 days through the website on the 15th. The number and period of books to be borrowed, application and collection times, etc. can be found on the website of each library.

Even in smart libraries at nearby subway stations or administrative welfare centers, you can easily check out and return books with your local library membership card. After pressing the checkout button on the device, you can search for and select a book according to the instructions, and recognize the library membership card, and the book is immediately released. In most cases, you can borrow up to two books for two weeks, and you can extend it for one week. The smart library has a limit on the number of books that can fit in a vending machine-shaped library, so you can’t find many books, but it has the advantage of being able to use it regardless of time.
