NORTH KOREA OFFICIAL WEBSITE

North Korea is much in the news these days. They are trying to assert themselves as a modern nation and a world power, even though they are incredibly poor, depending on donations of food to keep their people alive. Yet, they have the fifth largest standing army in the world. Apparently, they detonated a nuclear device to attract attention, if nothing else.

This is their official site, as they try to project an image of themselves to the world, that is likely far from reality. I, personally, know little about North Korea. I think we as a nation need to find out all we can about them, if we are to properly deal with them in the family of nations.

Take a look at their site. Be sure to take a look at some of the videos in the second website.

What information does your library have to provide to its patrons about this pugnacious country?
