Visit details

Namsan Library of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education is Seoul’s first public municipal library. It opened in 1922, moved to a newly built building at its present site in 1964, and the following year, 1965, was renamed Namsan Library as it is today. The 1964 reinforced-concrete building is the work of architect Lee Hae-seong and was listed as Seoul Future Heritage in 2013 in recognition of its conservation value. The library’s holdings of 500,000 volumes are classified by subject and placed in four materials rooms (Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Literature and Korean Literature Archives, and Bibliotherapy and Language).
