Published programme

Held every autumn, the Seo-gu Book Festival is a representative reading festival in Daejeon's Seo-gu, sharing the pleasures of books and reading with local residents. Varied programmes for families connect books, people, culture and the community. Alongside author meetings, performances and concerts, exhibitions combine books and art through book curation and picture-book original artwork. Special events include discarded-book recycling and an outdoor library, while storytelling and reading-related crafts offer hands-on activities. Partnerships with local universities, bookshops and arts organizations support a festival created by the community. Participatory programmes such as stamp tours expand opportunities for families to enjoy reading and cultural arts. Through books, the festival promotes communication and empathy across generations, spreads local reading culture and highlights the library's cultural value.
