Nowon Book Festival

The 2026 Nowon Outdoor Library Nangman Bojang is a reading culture event that brings books, reading, and cultural programs together in an outdoor setting under the theme 'In the Age of AI, Ultimately, People.' In an era when artificial intelligence and algorithms are woven widely into everyday life, the event focuses on human encounter and communication mediated by books. The venue features outdoor bookshelves stocked with librarian-selected titles, along with rest areas for open-air reading furnished with bean bags and camping chairs. During the event, visitors can browse books freely in the open air, while book concerts, humanities lectures, and other reading culture programs centered on books and people take place. With book displays, reading spaces, performances, and lectures all operating within a single event space, this outdoor library event lets citizens encounter books and culture in many different ways.
