Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that from July 21 to 23, for three days, it will operate the summer library “Haha Hoho Together Enjoying the BOOK Playground” at the Seongnaecheon Water Playground.

Since its opening, Seongnaecheon Water Playground has been a popular urban relaxation space attracting over 200,000 visitors annually. The Seongnaecheon summer library, operated every vacation season, has received great response from visitors as it allows them to enjoy water play and reading simultaneously.

This year, the reading corner will be stocked with over 2,000 books including fairy tales, biographies, and literature. All books are waterproofed, so visitors can use them without worrying about getting wet. The library operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and up to two books can be borrowed at a time.

In addition, various experience booths are prepared alongside the library. These include ▲rental of water play tubes ▲making of thread bracelets and bead bracelets ▲decorating eco bags ▲sticker tattoo experience ▲board games ▲and the Haha Hoho photo zone.

This year, a special space will be set up to meet Songpa-gu’s cute character “Haha Hoho.” At the souvenir making booth, visitors can create eco-friendly eco bags featuring the character, and at the photo zone, they can take commemorative photos with “Haha Hoho.”

The event is hosted and organized by the Saemaeul Library Songpa-gu Branch (Chairman Choi Bong-min), which is dedicated to expanding the reading population and promoting reading habits, and is operated by volunteers from each neighborhood library’s members and executives.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “I congratulate the opening of this unique library where children can naturally encounter books while playing,” and added, “I hope everyone has a meaningful summer vacation nurturing intellect and literary sensitivity while enjoying refreshing water play.”
