Previously, general members of the toy library were required to pay an annual fee of 10,000 won. However, with the amendment of the ordinance, this annual fee will be completely waived. The city expects that this measure will improve accessibility for citizens to the toy library.


This reflects the city's policy direction to create a more child-friendly environment, and satisfaction among citizens is expected to increase as a result.



Son Soonmi, Director of the Women and Family Department, stated, "By abolishing the annual membership fee, we can provide more families with opportunities to borrow toys, contributing to the development of children's creativity and imagination. We will continue to work toward improving service quality and enhancing user convenience through further policy enhancements."
