Guseong Library, a public library that opened in 2007, consists of one basement floor and three above-ground floors, with a total area of 2,775 square meters. This reopening comes 11 months after the library closed for remodeling on January 1 of this year.

The city improved outdated facilities and reorganized reading spaces through the remodeling. A total of 4.42 billion won was invested in the project, including 1 billion won in provincial funds secured through the ‘Gyeonggi-do Public Library Construction Support Project.’

The newly reopened library features expanded open reading spaces and has been designed in a book cafe style. It is also equipped with various information and communication technology (ICT) devices.

In particular, new facilities have been created for senior visitors, such as ‘Guseong Record,’ where visitors can listen to vinyl records, and an artificial intelligence (AI) Go robot experience zone.

The library will hold a reopening ceremony on the 27th and will officially open to the public at 9 a.m. on the 28th.

The reopening ceremony will feature a variety of programs for citizens, including a pre-ceremony performance by the multicultural arts team ‘Accordion Art’ and a participatory sand art performance for children. Those wishing to attend the performances can register in advance on the library’s website.

Visitors will receive commemorative gifts on a first-come, first-served basis, including an LP keyring with near-field communication (NFC) functionality that connects to the library’s website when held close to a mobile phone, as well as corner bookmarks.
