Published programme

The Family Book Festival is the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education’s representative reading-culture festival, held every autumn at Jeongdok Public Library since 2013. It brings families and neighbours together through books, offering experiences, performances and exhibitions that make the joy and value of reading part of daily life. Libraries, lifelong learning centres, local bookshops and school reading clubs collaborate on programmes in which citizens and students take part directly. Activities for all ages include an awards ceremony for reading families, cultural performances, creative book-related experiences, and environmental and traditional-culture activities. The festival invites participants to experience reading as a source of everyday happiness and community value.
