This paper investigates plans to expand distribution channels for books by installing a book vending machine at convenience stories for the vitalization of the publishing culture and industry. After establishing the meaning of convenience stories and the concept of a book vending machine, the researcher identified a need for the installation and management of a book vending machine at convenience stories. This plan will promote fairness and transparency in book sales through the convenience store system and push forward outsourcing between the publishing industry and the convenience store industry, the expansion of omnichannel service for consumers, and experiential values for clients to increase their customer satisfaction. The composition of the book vending machine will take the smart library form for its management with a universal design applied to a kiosk program. In the study, the researcher schematized this process and conducted a survey with 310 adults to search for practical management plans for a book vending machine. In the future, more research on the diversification of sales and distribution channels for publications such as the installation of a book vending machine at convenience stores will hopefully contribute to the growing amount of reading per capita and promotion of a reading environment for people according to the vitalization of the publishing culture and industry.

본 논문에서는 유·아동의 독서활동을 돕고자 기존에 있는 동화책과 가상현실 기술을 결합한 몰입형 동화 콘텐츠를 제안한다. VR 환경은 3D 입체 환경을 통한 중다감각적 상호작용을 가능하게 하여 학습자로부터 동기를 유발시킨다. 프로그램이 시작되면 컨트롤러가 활성화되며 동화보기, 미니게임 등 동화에 직접적으로 참여하여 즐길 수 있는 콘텐츠로, 향후 유·아동의 교육적인 면에서도 더욱 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.
