Jongno-gu (District Mayor Jeong Munheon) will hold a reopening commemoration event for Samcheong Park Forest Library (134-3 Bukchon-ro) from the 21st to the 24th.

Earlier, from January to May, the district completed remodeling work to enhance citizen convenience by relocating the caf? and operator management space, which was previously located in the center of the reading room, to the edges for takeout service, removing flower beds in the outdoor area, and resurfacing the floor.

The reopening ceremony will take place on the 21st from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the entrance of Samcheong Park Forest Library, featuring ▲Opening Declaration ▲Progress Report ▲Commemorative Speech ▲Commemorative Photo ▲Facility Tour ▲Celebratory Concert in sequence.

The reopening commemorative programs will be held from the 21st to the 24th. On the 21st, there will be a ‘Calligraphy Bookmark’ event where participants can create instant bookmarks with sentences from books, a special lecture and plant seed drawing experience on endangered species botanical art led by botanical artist Kim Suyeon, and a ‘Book Talk’ session with author Eun Mihyang discussing the laws of nature discovered in the forest.

On the 22nd, participants can join a meeting with author Ahn Jeongeun of ‘If a Monster Comes’ to enjoy storytelling and post-reading activities. On the 23rd, the program ‘I’m a Little Perfumer’ will teach about environmental issues while making sea glass plaster air fresheners. On the 24th, ‘Our Family Healing Dance! Dance!’ and a botanical art lecture and experience will be offered to promote communication with family through body and mind.

Additionally, side events include a botanical postcard coloring exhibition from the 21st to the 24th and a forest walking program proposed by the library. Participants will receive eco-friendly bamboo toothbrushes on a first-come, first-served basis.

‘Samcheong Park’ is recognized as a hidden gem in Jongno, boasting outstanding natural scenery throughout the year. Moreover, in the fall of 2013, Jongno-gu remodeled an old and worn park kiosk at the corner of the park to build the ‘Samcheong Park Forest Library,’ which was highly praised in a New York Times column as a healing space designed in a modern city full of the latest technology.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, “I recommend enjoying a cup of coffee in the library where a book caf? and bookshelves coexist and spending healing time with books in nature,” adding, “We ask for continued interest and love for the newly renovated Samcheong Park Forest Library to enhance convenience for residents and tourists.”
