The Aewol Public Library has announced the formation of a new book club, "벽돌집" (Byeokdoljip), designed for readers interested in engaging with substantial literary works. This initiative aims to foster community engagement and intellectual discussion among Jeju residents.
The inaugural selection for the "Brick House" book club is "진리의 발견" (The Discovery of Truth), an 840-page volume authored by Maria Popova and published by Daron in 2020. The club's focus on "thick books" (벽돌책, literally "brick books") suggests a commitment to in-depth literary exploration.
Meetings are scheduled to commence on Monday, June 10th, and will run weekly through Monday, July 1st. Sessions will be held every Tuesday evening from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the 1st Floor Lecture Room of the Aewol Public Library. Participants are required to bring their own copy of "진리의 발견."
The book club is open to 10 Jeju citizens. Interested individuals may apply via the Aewol Public Library's official homepage, under the "Events/Programs" (행사/프로그램) section. Registration opened today, Tuesday, May 27th, at 9:00 AM, and will proceed on a first-come, first-served basis.
