Introduction


The
Jeongdok Library opened in January 1977 on the former site of the Gyeonggi High
School in Bukchon, Jongno-gu (Seoul). As a public city library, it boasts over
half a million books and 16,300 reference materials. The Seoul Education Museum
in the library houses a collection of 12,000 reference materials.


 


In addition to basic library functions (lending
books and offering archives and reading rooms to the public), the library runs
various cultural programs such as monthly lectures by invited authors, photo
exhibitions, reading seminars, and music/dance performances. The library also
hosts educational events on economy, science, and society and shows three movies
in the Audio-Visual Room on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday of every week.


 


Through its vast collection of materials and
its program of cultural events, the library hopes to enrich the lives of Seoul
citizens by providing them with the latest information and a diversity of learning
opportunities.
