Up to 5 Books per Month Delivered by Mail to Pregnant Women with One-Time Initial Visit Verification

Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it will provide a book delivery loan service by courier for pregnant women who have difficulty visiting libraries at eight public libraries.

Regardless of the number of months before childbirth, users can access the service by verifying their status with a pregnancy confirmation certificate or maternity handbook during their first visit to a public library.

Users can search for books in the ‘Pregnant Women Courier Service’ search bar on the Eunpyeong-gu Public Library website, check the availability of the desired book, and then apply. After applying, it is essential to call the library to confirm the application details.

The maximum number of books that can be borrowed is five, and the courier service can be requested once a month. Returns can be made at any public library with interlibrary loan service, subway station return machines, or external return boxes.
