The Smart Library, which opened that day, is stocked with about 200 books, including bestsellers, this year's books selected by citizens, and children's books. Gyeonggi residents with a Yongin City library membership card can borrow up to three books per person for 14 days.

Users can access the service by signing up on the city library website, applying for full membership, and receiving a mobile membership card.

At the opening ceremony, Lee Sang-il, mayor of Yongin City, said, "We plan to increase the number of Smart Libraries by two more locations each year" and added, "We will strive to further increase citizens' book usage rates."

To commemorate this opening, the city will hold an event from the 18th to the 30th, giving beverage coupons to 60 users who borrow books from the Sanggal-dong Smart Library and leave a certification photo.
