Lotte Homeshopping Opens 98th 'Small Library' in Jeonju, Aiming for 100 Locations This Year

Eco-Friendly Learning Space Created at Ttasum Regional Children's Center in Deokjin-gu
Remodeled Flooring and Wallpaper, Donation of Beam Projector and Tablets

Lotte Homeshopping announced on the 21st that it has opened the 98th eco-friendly learning space, 'Small Library,' at the Ttasum Regional Children's Center in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, Jeonbuk.

Since its opening in 2011, the Ttasum Regional Children's Center has faced challenges such as an increasing number of users and aging facilities, causing inconvenience for children. Over a two-month period, Lotte Homeshopping remodeled the group study room using eco-friendly materials, transforming it into a comfortable reading and learning environment. The company installed new flooring and wallpaper, and donated digital learning devices such as a beam projector and tablet PCs, creating an educational setting that supports both online and offline learning. The interior features Lotte Homeshopping's popular character 'Bellygom,' adding a bright and cheerful atmosphere. Going forward, the space will serve as a reading area for about 40 children and as a venue for humanities education.

Since 2013, Lotte Homeshopping has been operating Small Libraries in partnership with the Salvation Army, providing eco-friendly learning spaces for children in culturally underprivileged areas across the country. The company opens Small Libraries in libraries and regional children's centers nationwide to offer practical benefits to children in educational and welfare blind spots who are in urgent need of support. Lotte Homeshopping aims to open the 100th Small Library in the second half of this year.

Mina Kim, Lotte Homeshopping Communications Team Leader, said, "We plan to continue expanding practical support to provide a better learning environment for children in need of care."
