Busan Library Upgrades Weekly Book Recommendation Alert Service “Weekly Book Talk”

내용

Busan Library of Busan Metropolitan City (hereinafter referred to as “the Library”) announced that it will relaunch its “Weekly Book Talk” service in March, allowing users to receive weekly book recommendations via KakaoTalk.

Moving beyond its previous text-centered format, “Weekly Book Talk” will now select one book each week and provide ▲a book cover image ▲basic bibliographic information (title, author, publisher, publication year) ▲a key summary.

Based on the applicant’s selected preferred genres, the service offers customized recommendations. By curating mainly books published within the past three years, it enhances the reliability and timeliness of the information provided.

In addition, the Library has significantly expanded the book summary database (DB) content available through the Busan Metropolitan City e-Library, enabling citizens to freely access a wide range of reading content online.

The book summary collection has been expanded to approximately 10,000 titles, and 2,150 audiobooks as well as various additional content, including language courses, are newly available.

“Weekly Book Talk” will operate from March to December this year without a limit on the number of participants. Any member of the Busan Metropolitan City Book & Library Integrated Service may apply.

By adding the “Weekly Book Talk” channel on KakaoTalk, users can receive regular weekly book recommendations and set their preferred genres.

Park Eun-a, Director of Busan Library, stated, “Through the ‘Weekly Book Talk’ service, we aim to help citizens easily connect with books even amid their busy daily lives,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen e-Library content to contribute to the expansion of a reading culture among citizens.”
