Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District, Attends Opening Ceremony of ‘Nowon District Smart Library (Nowon Station Line 7)’

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District, attended the opening ceremony of the ‘Nowon District Smart Library’ held on the afternoon of the 22nd at the underground first floor concourse of Nowon Station on Seoul Subway Line 7.

The smart library was established on the underground first floor concourse of Line 7, a location with heavy foot traffic, to accommodate office workers who find it difficult to use traditional libraries.

Equipped with over 250 books, the library allows 24-hour non-face-to-face autonomous borrowing and returning. If a desired book is not available, users can reserve it through the Nowon District Public Library website and pick it up via the unmanned reservation book lending and returning machine.

The opening ceremony was attended by Mayor Oh Seung-rok, Kim Jun-seong, Chairman of the Nowon District Council, city and district council members, and local residents. The event included a busking performance, greetings, progress reports, a unveiling ceremony, and a demonstration of the smart library.

Mayor Oh said, “The smart library has arrived at Nowon Station, a place with heavy foot traffic. Moving forward, we will actively work to build future-oriented libraries within a 10-minute distance from people’s homes and expand various foundations to promote a reading culture.”
