[Life] Introducing Namsan Public Library
There are many libraries in Seoul. Among many, I normally go to Namsan Public Library. It is located in the Yongsan-gu, near Namsan Park area. Opened in the year 1922, Namsan Public Library celebrated its 100th anniversary in the year 2022. It recently renovated 2nd floor of the building which is now used as a digital lounge.
