In Greek mythology, the owl is revered as the servant of the goddess Athena and is known as a sacred bird of the gods. It symbolizes wisdom, possesses spiritual powers , and can unravel natural mysteries hidden from human sight, thus safeguarding humanity.
To promote our public information service, we have four mascots that embody our core values of Reading, Exploring, Recreation, and Learning. They are RUPI, EEPI, APPI, and LAPI. The "PI" in their names represents public information, derived from the new library name: the National Library of Public Information. These four owl mascots serve as messengers of wisdom and are accompanied by the popular book-transportation robot, BOPI, in our library. Together, they form the "Happy 5 PIs"!
In response to the digital age, our aim is to transform the Library into a "REAL" library. The "R" stands for Reading, the "E" for Exploring, the "A" for recreAtion, and the "L" for Learning. Below, we will elaborate on the definition and direction of a REAL library.
