Mayor Shin Gye-yong stated on August 31 that the Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town Library will serve as a key facility in the southern Gwacheon area, providing residents with access to diverse knowledge and culture while fostering communication among them.
Mayor Shin is actively promoting the construction of the 'Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town Library,' which aims to become a hub for information, culture, and lifelong education for the residents.
The library is planned to be built in Galhyeon-dong, featuring one basement level and three above-ground floors, with a total area of 7,556 square meters.
It is specifically designed to be a 'specialized library' where citizens can enjoy knowledge and culture and communicate freely.
The library will include reading areas, spaces dedicated to cultural and artistic activities, and facilities for residents' convenience. An efficient layout will be designed to accommodate users of various age groups comfortably.
Design work is expected to be completed by March 2027, with construction slated to begin in July and a target completion date in the first half of 2029.
Currently, administrative procedures, including detailed design and various certification processes, are progressing smoothly.
In this regard, Mayor Shin recently held a mid-term report meeting on the design project at City Hall, reviewing the current design proposals and gathering feedback on space configuration and plans for different areas.
Residents of the Knowledge Information Town have expressed their anticipation for the library's construction. One resident remarked, 'I am excited about having a space close to home where I can read with my children and participate in cultural programs. I hope it becomes a library where residents can use and communicate comfortably.'
Another resident noted, 'As the Knowledge Information Town expands, we need more cultural facilities for residents. I expect that the completion of the library will significantly enhance the convenience of life for local residents.'
Meanwhile, Mayor Shin Gye-yong added, 'We will actively reflect the diverse opinions from the field to create a beloved library for all citizens.'
