The Incheon Metropolitan Government announced Wednesday that it will expand its "Culture Day" program to every Wednesday starting in April. The move increases the frequency from once a month to once a week, aiming to improve cultural accessibility for residents.
The program covers three libraries: Subong, Yeongjong, and Yulmok. Each library will operate regular programs reflecting local characteristics.
Yulmok Library will offer "AI Literacy Lectures" every Wednesday from April 8 to 29, covering generative AI applications and foundational topics including ethics and copyright. Subong Library will run "Susu Bookshop," where visitors can exchange books and share reading experiences in the lobby every Wednesday. Film screenings and hands-on activity programs will also be offered.
Yeongjong Library is currently closed for expansion and renovation. A temporary library will open at Butterfly City in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, from May 6 until December 2027. Key programs including "Open Book Stay" will run every Wednesday through December, with extended operating hours on those days.
All three libraries will implement "Double Day" every Wednesday, increasing the per-person borrowing limit from five to ten books.
"We have restructured the program so that cultural benefits that required a month-long wait can now be enjoyed weekly," said Jeon Yu-do, Director of Incheon's Culture and Sports Bureau. "We will ensure libraries serve as community cultural hubs with substantive programming."
