Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced on the 8th that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Eungam Information Library, which will be established as a new landmark in Eungam-dong, will be held on the 13th.

The Eungam Information Library was originally constructed in 1992 as the Eungam 4-dong Community Center building and has been used as a library since 2009. In 2020, it was selected for the 'Living SOC Complex Project' and will be developed into a complex building consisting of a public library and a living culture center, with a site area of 877.8㎡ and a total floor area of 1,894.82㎡ (1 basement floor, 4 above-ground floors), scheduled for completion in November 2025.

The basement floor will house a preservation archive, the first floor will feature an open space and lobby accessible to all residents, the second floor will be a general reference room, the third floor will be a children's materials room, and the fourth floor will be a living culture center with study spaces for lectures and group study, as well as soundproof rooms for ensemble, choir, and dance practice. The rooftop is designed as an open space suitable for outdoor concerts and exhibitions.

This facility will serve as a local community space where people can enjoy culture and arts and hold gatherings, built as an open space for residents to use comfortably without inconvenience. The groundbreaking ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. on the 13th at 730-3 Eungam-dong, where the library will be located.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “I hope the Eungam Information Library will become a landmark of Eungam-dong beyond the traditional functions of a library and serve as a sanctuary for residents seeking wisdom and culture.”
