The three little libraries currently in operation since October 2020 have been visited by 55,000 people, despite the 30-percent accommodation limit imposed by quarantine restrictions.

“We plan to increase the number of park libraries that citizens can enjoy at any time of the year,” said Yoo Young-bong, director-general of the Green Seoul Bureau at the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
