The Hangeul Love Sejong Book Culture Center, opening on the 15th, is created reflecting the characteristics of Sejong City, which promotes itself as a city that loves Hangeul. It is part of the 'Regional Book Culture Center' project that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has been promoting since 2019 in collaboration with the Korea Publication Industry Promotion Agency.
The center, which designates Hangeul as its core content, is organized into 'Jiphyeonjeon Chaekbeot' on the 1st floor and 'Jiphyeonjeon Geulbeot' on the 4th floor of the Sejong City Hall building.
At Jiphyeonjeon Chaekbeot, visitors can experience various book culture activities such as producing POD (Print on Demand) publications, which are digital printing devices suitable for small-volume publishing, education on creating e-books, audiobooks, and webtoons, as well as startup projects for publishers and bookstores.
Jiphyeonjeon Geulbeot specializes in exhibiting Hangeul materials and provides related books and general books on various topics for citizens to freely read and borrow. In particular, programs such as 'I am also a writer' and 'Book Friend Project' are operated, and a monthly 'Hangeul Week' is designated to hold various events like 'Reading Habits Learned from King Sejong' and 'Making My Own Hangeul Dictionary.'
Additionally, the center plans to hold various events where citizens can communicate, including Hangeul and reading lectures. It operates from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and if necessary, the 1st floor 'Jiphyeonjeon Chaekbeot' will also be open on weekends.
