Suwon Cultural Foundation

Suwon continues to search for and support a variety of cultural and art programs involving books. The city provides the latest information for local children and adolescents with a well thought out collection of books in each subject area, the Book Request service, etc., and carries out a societal role as a hub for cultural refinement and a center of information culture for local residents. It also looks to transform the library into a depository of knowledge that helps children and young people open up future possibilities by providing high-quality reading related cultural services.
