Libraries and Book Stores Libraries and Book Stores 1) Libraries Korea has traditionally been a nation that enjoys reading, so libraries are numerous. That being said, English-language material is not particularly easy to come by at public libraries. On the other hand, a number of nations operate cultural centers with libraries with foreign language books. There are a number of foreign-language bookstores as well where, in addition to the latest novels, you can buy textbooks and other necessary items for your educational needs. The National Library in Korea, in Sogong-dong, is the proverbial mother-of-all-libraries in Korea. Other major libraries include the National Assembly Library, the Supreme Court Library and Korea’s many university libraries. The Namsan Library, located next to Namsan Park, has a small foreign language section, but is better known as a nice place to stroll around with great views of the city.
