Here at the Itaewon-Hannam Global Village Center we have built up quite an extensive library of English books, most of which have been donated by other expats. In fact, we recently received
A very generous donation of approximately 100 great books and these have greatly expanded our collection. In total, our library has now has over 400 books including both fiction and non-fiction titles. There is also a section of books to help you better understand Korean culture, language, and history. In particular, we have a good selection of Korean language study books to help those who are working on improving their Korean. Anyone can borrow a book from our library. We just ask for a 5,000 won per book deposit from first time borrowers . Feel free to drop by anytime and pick up a good book. Our shelves are now pretty full but we can still accept donations of a book or two. So, if you have some good books just lying around that you think others would enjoy reading, please bring them into the center.
