But did you know there are a few unique libraries that are much more than a place to sit quietly and read books?
Gyeonggi Province also has a number of these unique libraries.
In particular, there are plenty of people who want to go to libraries with their children.
Today, I will introduce you to a few unique libraries in Gyeonggi Province with a wide range of features such as astronomical observatories or spaces to rest.
Read books and gaze at the stars at the Uijeongbu Science Library
All of us have had the experience of gazing up into the night looking for stars scattered across the sky. Did you know there is a library where you can observe astronomical bodies in the night sky?
The Uijeongbu Science Library has a variety of science-related books along with night-time astronomical observation facilities, and a space experience hall.
You can enjoy entertaining lectures related to constellations or take part in unique space activities such as maintaining balance in space and a zero gravity 4D experience.

Paju Garam Library where music flows
I strongly recommend this next library to those who love music! It’s the Paju Garam Library where you can enjoy music any time.
Not only does this library have regular books, it’s also a specialized music library with more than 4,600 musical resources.
In the Art Hall on the library’s first floor, the library holds classical music performances. It’s an ideal place for those who want to drop by and immerse themselves in music.
Apart from this, you can enjoy DVDs of classical performances and use the music resource center as well as facilities for headphones to enjoy music in comfort!
If you’ve read the books and enjoyed the music at the library, you can enjoy a leisurely walk at the Hangul Park nearby.
