서초구 야외도서관 「양재천을 품은 양재도서관: 물길 따라 그림책 여행」은 도심 속 자연공간인 양재천에서 책과 문화예술을 함께 경험할 수 있도록 마련한 야외 독서문화축제이다. 2026년 10월 10일부터 11월 8일까지 매주 토·일요일 총 10회에 걸쳐 양재도서관 앞 오솔숲과 양재천 일대에서 운영하는 행사이다. ‘관계·감정·꿈과 성장·힐링·자연’을 주제로 매주 다양한 그림책을 소개하며, 자연 속에서 자유롭게 책을 읽을 수 있는 야외 독서공간을 비롯해 그림책 전시, 체험 프로그램, 공연, 가족 참여 프로그램 등을 운영한다. 숲길과 잔디밭, 양재천 산책로, 계단 공간 등 장소별 특성을 활용해 독서와 문화예술 프로그램을 구성하며, 기존 실내 도서관 중심의 독서 경험을 자연공간으로 확장한 것이 특징이다. 어린이를 동반한 가족과 양재천을 이용하는 시민 등 누구나 참여할 수 있으며, 책과 자연, 문화예술을 연계한 다양한 프로그램을 통해 일상 속에서 독서를 경험할 수 있을 것이다.
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.
