A new landmark is emerging in Myeonmok-dong, Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi). On the afternoon of the 13th, the district held a groundbreaking ceremony for the ‘Myeonmok-dong Library/Parking Lot Complex Facility’ at the Sagajeong Park public parking lot in Myeonmok-dong.

The ‘Myeonmok-dong Library and Parking Lot Complex Facility,’ which will house both a library and a public parking lot, will be built on a site area of 2,375㎡ with a total floor area of 7,356.98㎡, spanning 3 basement floors to 4 above-ground floors, and is scheduled for completion in October 2025.

The above-ground space will be designed as a community area for residents. The first floor will feature a lobby and exhibition space; the second floor will have children's and infant reading rooms; the third floor will include a teenage space and a general reading room; and the fourth floor will house a cafe and seminar rooms. Once completed, the facility is expected to become a key hub in the Myeonmok-dong area, serving as a resting place for residents and a venue to enjoy diverse cultural activities.

From the first basement floor to the third basement floor, parking spaces will be created to alleviate parking difficulties in the surrounding area. Additionally, parking spaces will be added above ground, securing a total of 116 parking spots.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “I hope residents will continue to provide feedback and show interest so that this complex facility can become a beloved space. We plan to increase the number of public libraries to a total of 10 by 2026, including the Myeonmok-dong Library/Parking Lot Complex Facility, and build a solid public infrastructure to make Jungnang-gu a better place to live and improve residents’ quality of life.”

Jungnang-gu has been steadily promoting the ‘Reading Jungnang Project’ and implementing various reading-related initiatives. Notably, there are programs such as ‘Reading 1,000 Books Before School’ and ‘Reading 1,000 Books in Elementary School’ aimed at establishing reading habits from early childhood.

Additionally, this year, the district plans to foster 100 reading discussion leaders and support reading clubs to promote the activation of reading communities. Furthermore, it operates various libraries that are easily accessible in daily life, such as smart libraries and small libraries, to strengthen the reading culture.
