A new children's library in central Seoul, the Dongbinggo English Library for Children, is integrating English books with artificial intelligence (AI), interactive exhibits and cultural activities to make language learning more engaging. The library, which opened on Wednesday on the first floor of Onnuri Youth Center in Dongbinggo Neighborhood Park, provides children with a dedicated space for reading, language development and hands-on learning.
Covering a 389.74-square-meter area, the facility features a children's reading room, program rooms and a waiting area for parents. A standout element is the digital aquarium, which utilizes AI to create an immersive underwater experience for young visitors. Interactive content is designed to extend children's experiences beyond traditional book reading.
The library caters to different reading levels, offering English-language books alongside tailored programs and activities. Upon its opening, about 80 attendees, including Yongsan District Mayor Kim Gyeong-dae and local residents, participated in the ceremony. The event included a project briefing, congratulatory remarks, the unveiling of the library sign and a guided tour of the facility. The library's mission is to transform language learning into a fun and adventurous experience.
