It will be held from October 24 to 25 at the Udang Library in Jeju City, under the theme 'Gather in the Book Field,' providing time to look back on the past 10 years together with citizens and to create the future reading culture together. This Jeju Reading Festival offers diverse experiences where anyone, regardless of generation or taste, can stay and enjoy with books, and creates a venue for reading culture exchange where citizens and the region meet and communicate through books.
