Private Libraries Public libraries are also providing great spaces these days, but there is still room for improvement in the quality of public spaces. In such a case, if there are those who wish to have a better time, even if they pay money, this is the right place. There are also good restaurants and cafes. The beautiful and moderately quiet private library will be enjoyable to stay in the building all day. - The forest that grew up with me - The Geumjeong Library where I went while holding my mother's hand. At that time, when I was not interested in knowledge and stories, it was just an ascetic path for pork cutlet and ramen. Still, because the library is a space where everyone should be quiet, I turned it into a quiet playground. The scent of the bookshelves and the old books made me think of a forest as a young child. The small body was able to enjoy the space and had a lot to imagine. It was a fun space to hide behind a wooden pole to avoid a virtual villain, and just pretend to observe the enemy's movements through the leaves of a book. - That's how I became a middle school student because of my interest in the library space, and now it's not a playground made of forest, but a forest of knowledge where I can find out what I don't know. I still can't forget the psychology book I took out out of curiosity when I was in middle school. I brought this book out because I was curious about the human psychology, but it was because it made it more difficult to understand. - After middle school and high school, now that I learned knowledge, it was time to acquire that knowledge. The library has changed from a forest of knowledge to a forest for entrance exams. A small note from the person in front of me and a secret and cute love story could have come out, but I was in an extremely ordinary reality. The forest of entrance exams that flowed so haphazardly disappeared naturally after leaving Busan and moving to Tokyo. - As a sophomore, poor foreigner, I needed a job. Luckily, I was selected as a working scholarship student at the school. Moreover, it was the work of the school library. Now, this place has changed from the forest of entrance exams to the forest of life. I stayed up all night to come to the library and move secret books to the secret warehouse. They moved large and heavy old books and secretly stole sentence by sentence. It was hard work, but I still didn't hate the space called the library. This is my old library story. And the library has never been visited for purposes other than tourism. - In the spring of this year, I heard that there was a nice library in Seoul. What's more, strangely, the news that they paid money to enter broke my interest. This is because the idea of a library as a public open space was so interesting and novel for me. - How about a library that pays money? - It was only when I visited this library in the expensive land of Cheongdam-dong that the question was solved. Tonkatsu Ramen was not sold at this library. It was stunning fine restaurant food that anyone would drool over. On one side, there was a cafe these days. There were no shabby wooden bookshelves, and the space was used as a library here. It could be seen that this space was entirely for activities related to books. A nice road desk and a design chair were placed in place of the damaged wooden desk and squeaky wooden chairs. The quiet and pleasant air and the wonderful experience of climbing up the stairs and taking out a book. It's worth the money Now the times have changed. The library space also responded closely to the demands of the times. This will be one of those reactions. - This is #Sojeonseorim, located in Cheongdam-dong, a forest of writings surrounded by white bricks. - Location _ 23 Yeongdong-daero 138-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul - Parking available - Business hours _ Tue-Sat 11-23, Sun 09:30-18:00, closed Mondays - Admission _ Full-day pass 50,000 won, half-day pass 30,000 won - Often at library events So, it would be better to go to the official account and check it out. Please note that there is no inconvenience in using the space-🙏🏻🤧”
