Dear Citizens,
The National Library of Korea is the nation’s flagship library, entrusted with the national mission of systematically collecting the knowledge resources that the people need, providing them with the highest-quality information services, and preserving our invaluable knowledge resources in perpetuity so that they may be passed on intact to future generations
The National Library of Korea also takes responsibility for advancing Korea’s knowledge and cultural ecosystem by supporting libraries across the country and strengthening cooperation with a wide range of cultural and academic institutions.
In particular, as we enter an era in which artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life, we are leading innovative research to realize all the library services that our citizens envision. We are also doing our utmost to promote responsible and informed use of artificial intelligence and to foster a vibrant and distinguished reading culture at the national level.
To provide the highest-quality library services, the National Library of Korea is fully equipped with professional librarians with expertise, carefully selected and trusted knowledge and information resources for the AI era, and facilities and spaces where everyone can freely enjoy a wide range of knowledge and cultural activities.
I sincerely hope that you will continue to support and cherish the National Library of Korea and make even greater use of all that we have to offer.
The National Library of Korea will always remain close to you and be a part of your everyday lives.
Thank you.
Nam Young-joon
