50 thousand books at Coex Starfield Library

Coex Starfield Library's exact location is at 513, Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 서울특별시 강남구 영동대로. It opens at 10:30AM and closes at 10:00PM. Coex Starfield Library is open to all, free of charge.

How to get to Coex Starfield Mall:

The easiest way to get to Coex Mall is through the subway. Take the Seoul Metro Line 2. Get off at Samseong Station and take exit 5 or 6. There's a clear signage directing you to the mall.

The two-storey library houses more than 50,000 books from Literature to Humanities to Hobbies and Practical use. Mostly, the books are in Korean and also, it is not a quiet library. It is a busy buzzing place. The people are also continually moving in and out. It is hugely popular for taking instagrammable photos.

We got here real quick and did not even spent 30 minutes but it was worth a visit. I wished I was able to read a book here. The books are stacked so high, so I have no idea if these are for display purposes only. We got great photos good for posting to IG and FB, haha! We also went here because we saw it in Record of Youth Korean series and it looks so awesome in that run but more impressive to see the library in person.
