Forest of Wisdom hannae
Nowon-gu, Seoul • Culture

"We need more places like this around us." In the book [My Loved Spaces - Yoon Kwang-joon], there is a saying. "Have you ever been to Namsan Tower or Lotte World Tower, the tallest building in Korea? Probably not many people have been there. Those who live in the city are not interested in famous places. We cannot feel any inconvenience even if it becomes occupied by tourists. The places that are more important to us are bus stops, train stations, kindergartens, community centres, libraries, post offices, police stations, and courts where we frequently spend time." This article introduces the 'Hannae Library' located in the Hannae Neighborhood Park in front of the Jungnangcheon in Nowon-gu. It has an outstanding exterior, resembling a forest of houses. Inside, various spaces are created due to the protruding ceiling following the roof. This library, dominated by the children, is full of children's books, so adults might find fewer books for them comparing to other libraries.
