Ulsan library seeks public book nominations for '2027 Ulsan Book of the Year'

Ulsan Library, together with 22 public libraries across the city, is accepting public book nominations for the "2027 Ulsan Book of the Year" from Friday through Dec. 3.

The Ulsan Book of the Year is selected through a public preference survey drawing on nominations from residents and public libraries. The chosen titles will be featured in a range of reading culture programs, including group reading sessions, classroom book discussions and author lectures.

Nominations are open in four categories — children, youth, adult and Ulsan — with residents encouraged to suggest titles suited to each age group that spark an interest in reading and lend themselves to literary activities. The Ulsan category, introduced this year, is dedicated to works by local authors and books that reflect the city's history and cultural heritage.

Nominations can be submitted in person at any nearby public library or online through the Ulsan Library website at library.ulsan.go.kr.

"We hope many residents will take an interest and participate so that we can share and read great books that capture the value of Ulsan," a library official said.
