It's important to create the circumstances to be familiar with books. Bucheon City is making a big library zone connecting major subway stations across the city such as Bucheon, Sang-dong and Yeokgok subway stations.

The city has opened a new library called 'Smart Library Station' on the second floor in Yeokgok station, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon City last April 1, 2013. The Smart Library is an automated book-rental machine where citizens can easily search and borrow any books they want on the spot. This small library machine has served 375 books released recently including <Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education> by Robert T. Kiyosaki.

Bucheon citizens can use the Smart Library Station with their library cards issued by Bucheon City Library from 5:30 am to midnight everyday. One person can borrow one book once for maximum 7 days long. The book borrowed at the Smart Library Station should get back to the same library machine.
