Willa, an integrated reading platform, and the Jinseon Foundation have opened the fourth site in their Digital Library donation project at a children’s rehabilitation hospital in Seoul.
The library opened this month at the Mapo Purme Children’s Library on the first floor of Purme Foundation Nexon Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital in Sangam-dong. The hospital renovated the library to mark its 10th anniversary.
The Mapo Purme Children’s Library serves children undergoing rehabilitation, their caregivers and residents of the surrounding community. With the new digital installation, users who have difficulty reading physical books because of visual or physical disabilities can access audiobooks and other reading content more easily.
The two organizations held a donation ceremony at the library on the 13th. Jinseon Foundation Chairwoman Park Sun-young said, “It is meaningful to donate a Digital Library to a shared space for everyone, regardless of disability.” She added that the project would help remove barriers to reading.
