A Shining Space of Knowledge in the Shopping Mall

Located on the basement floor of COEX Mall at 513 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, the Starfield Library is not just a library but a cultural haven that nourishes the soul. With towering bookshelves reaching 13 meters high and a sprawling 2,800㎡ open atrium, the visual impact alone is breathtaking.

The most appealing aspect of this place is the freedom to read books without restrictions. Anyone can enter for free without the need for strict borrowing procedures, and the library's natural book management system, which eliminates concerns about theft, is a new experiment based on trust.

With tranquil cultural programs running throughout the day, frequent musician performances, lectures, and book concerts, it’s the perfect spot to visit after shopping.

When I visited, the library was bustling with people taking photos, exploring books, and blending seamlessly into the space. It’s an excellent spot for a short break during shopping or a meeting place with friends. Quiet yet vibrant, this space is a must-visit destination on any Seoul itinerary.
