Since its debut in 2022 as a public initiative to promote outdoor reading and cultural activities, the Seoul Outdoor Library has attracted more than 6 million visitors, according to The Korea Times.
The open-air libraries will halt operations during peak summer heat in July and August, with the second-half run set to resume on Sept. 5, the newspaper adds.
User satisfaction with this year’s outdoor libraries reached an all-time high of 96.6 percent, up 5.3 percentage points from the previous year. The same percentage of visitors said they would revisit.
