About
Jeongdok Public Library is a Seoul public library that opened in January 1977 on the former site of Gyeonggi High School in Bukchon, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It holds about 490,000 books and some 16,300 non-book materials. Its affiliated Seoul Education History Archive keeps about 12,000 historical materials on education. Besides book lending and the use of its reference and reading rooms, the library runs cultural programs such as monthly author talks, photo exhibitions, reading clubs, puppet shows, concerts and dance performances. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom all around the library, making it a popular date spot, and the Samcheong-dong Cherry Blossom Festival is held in nearby Samcheong Park.
