[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) will operate the non-face-to-face cultural program "The Scent of Joseon Books" at the Sayuksin History Museum until November.
Opened in 2010, the Sayuksin History Museum is a historical and cultural space equipped with exhibition rooms containing materials related to the Sayuksin, who lost their lives during the restoration movement of King Danjong in the Joseon Dynasty, as well as experience education rooms and video rooms.
The "2020 Sayuksin History Museum Cultural Program" titled "The Scent of Joseon Books" features experiential craft programs such as ▲hand-copying the loyalty of the Sayuksin onto old books made by traditional bookbinding methods ▲making pressed flower bookmarks using plum blossoms, symbolizing loyalty and integrity.
Any Dongjak-gu resident can apply, and 200 participants will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis until the 16th.
Residents wishing to participate can scan the QR code at the bottom of the poster or visit the Dongjak Cultural Foundation website to apply, and participation is free of charge.
Due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, educational materials such as traditional book and pressed flower bookmark making kits and instructional videos will be sent in advance to the homes of selected participants, and the program will be conducted as a non-face-to-face experiential education while complying with quarantine rules.

Additionally, the district is conducting an online library program called "A Letter to My Future Self" until the 18th.
