Getting there

About

A weekend reading festival that deliberately spills out of the library and into the city — small neighbourhood libraries, independent bookshops and open-air reading rooms across Wonju. The programme includes talks by Korean authors Ye So-yeon, Baek Yu-yeon and Kim Geun-hee, a staged reading for children, and outdoor performances and workshops. Almost everything is in Korean, so the draw for a foreign visitor is the outdoor reading rooms and the atmosphere rather than the talks.

Description translated from official Korean tourism data. Details can change — verify with the organizer before you go.
