Until now, the Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Library has steadily established itself as a multi-purpose cultural space where visitors can enjoy reading, conversation, and cultural and artistic performances. With this renovation, a variety of assistive devices such as reading magnifiers, height-adjustable desks, and Galaxy Tabs have been newly installed to ensure that users with visual or physical limitations can use the library comfortably.

In addition, an accessibility module for the visually impaired has been introduced to the unmanned borrowing and return system, allowing users to more conveniently borrow and return books through voice guidance and a braille keypad.

The Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Library aims to be an open cultural space where anyone, regardless of age, gender, or disability, can visit, read, and communicate. Through this environmental improvement, the province expects to broaden residents' opportunities to enjoy culture and to create a reading environment that everyone can use equally.

Won Jinhee, Administrative Management Officer of Gyeonggi Province, said, "We hope that the Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Library will become a space open to everyone for reading and relaxation," adding, "We will continue to develop it into a warmer and more considerate cultural space where all residents can come together and interact."

Meanwhile, the Northern Gyeonggi Provincial Government Complex plans to offer seasonal cultural experiences and leisure activities for residents this winter through various programs, including a light sculpture exhibition, mini curling and air hockey experiences, and a flea market.
