Parenting Tips for Byeolmadang Library
- One of Seoul's signature indoor attractions, directly connected to Samseong Station on Seoul Subway Line 2, making it comfortable to visit year-round regardless of the weather.
- With a 13 m-tall giant bookshelf and various photo spots, it is perfect for taking beautiful commemorative photos with children.
- An installation titled Kwon Jeong-ryun's <Strata of Thought> exhibition sculpture is currently displayed in the center of the library, offering a unique atmosphere for photos.
- Books are also available on the second floor, which is directly connected by an escalator, making it easy to move around leisurely while looking down at the view below.
- The library houses about 50,000 to 70,000 books and 400 to 600 types of domestic magazines, as well as plenty of children's books that are great for kids.
- Sofas and tables throughout make it convenient to enjoy reading, but because there are always many visitors, securing a relaxed seat can be fairly competitive.
- It is an open cultural space where you can freely read books inside the library, but book borrowing is not available like at a regular public library.
- In addition to the books you browse, you can conveniently purchase new books at Youngpoong Bookstore on the same floor.
- Beyond being just a reading space, you can view and participate in free cultural events such as book talks, lectures, and performances held regularly according to the schedule.
- Because the library is located in the center of COEX Mall Plaza, it is very convenient to use nearby amenities such as restaurants, shopping malls, and cafes.
