Published programme

"Where books, people and the neighborhood meet: Wolgot Book Yard!" On Saturday, November 14, a special day with books unfolds at the Wolgot Community Culture Center. Wolgot Bookshelf, where you can meet books chosen and introduced by citizens themselves and books by local authors; a book market where Gimpo's neighborhood bookstores gather together; various crafting activities and a stamp tour; and even children's book gifts! Wolgot Book Yard is open for anyone to visit and enjoy freely. However, to prepare the event smoothly, advance registration is taken for some programs and activities. Please choose the programs you would like to join. You may apply for multiple programs. 1. Special program with picture-book author Lee Ye-sook | 13:30: a time with author Lee Ye-sook including the 1-person puppet show The Strange Zoo, an exhibition of original pop-up picture books and paper art, and making your own animal pop-up book. 2. Book exchange program: a citizen book-circulation program in which you exchange 3 books from the small library of the Wolgot Community Culture Center for a new book bought at a Gimpo neighborhood bookstore (bring the receipt). 3. Children's book gift: we give away Dasan Children's stories loved at neighborhood bookstores. Each child taking part in Wolgot Book Yard receives a book (quantities are limited). 4. Activities: 1) Earthling Story booth: making keycaps from bottle caps; 2) Small library Darak: making an ochim-bound book.
