Celebrating 20 Years of Jecheon Miracle Library, a True Gift to Korea

Knowledge   Celebrating 20 Years of Jecheon Miracle Library,a True Gift to Korea   2024.06.03   In Korea, there is a “Miracle Library,” which is the one and only in the world   In the early 2000s, children were particularly marginalized in Korea, especially in terms of library services.

Based on this standard, Korea will be entering the post-aged society in 2025, four years from now, with the aged population accounting for 20.3% of the entire population.
