Seoul's Outdoor Libraries Promote Reading in Parks

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has started a special project called the Seoul Outdoor Library.

This project turns parks and public places into big, open-air reading rooms.

These spaces have bookshelves, comfy seats, and even cultural programs.

Everyone can come and read for free.

The idea is to get people to read more and spend less time on their phones.

Doctors say reading in these calm, shared spaces is good for the brain.

It helps with focus, memory, and reduces stress.

There are several popular spots in Seoul where you can enjoy reading, like near the City Hall, along a stream, and by the Han River.

This project is all about making books as easy to access as a walk in the park.
