Jowon 2-dong in Jangan-gu, Suwon City has established an outdoor book café by utilizing the green space around its community center, where residents can read books and reflect at any time. The installation has been receiving positive responses from students and residents.

The outdoor book café, where climbing roses and greenery harmoniously blend together, was designed in the shape of a telephone booth and was installed on the 26th.

The Saemaul Bookhouse took the lead in opening the café with approximately 200 classic books donated by organization members, staff, community center students, and residents.

A resident who used the book café said, "It was wonderful to easily access books within the apartment complex, and I plan to come here whenever I have time to spend reading."
