Seoul expands outdoor library for global visitors

Seoul’s outdoor library program returns this month with expanded initiatives aimed at attracting foreign national visitors, city officials said Monday. The program opens April 23, marking World Book and Copyright Day, with sites at Gwanghwamun Square and along Cheonggyecheon. Operations at Seoul Plaza begin May 1. First introduced in 2022, the outdoor library transforms major public spaces into open-air reading venues where residents and tourists can freely enjoy books and cultural activities. T
