Beomeo Public Library in Daegu

As a student, I need some materials related to class. The best one to find books is in the campus library, but sometimes books already borrowed by others. That's why I need to go to another library, or public library.

The one that I visited is Beomeo Public Library in Suseong District. Actually, I just need to go to the public library near my house instead. But because of my curiosity, I pass 30 minutes through subway to visit Beomeo Library.

So, how to borrow books?

Even you are foreigners, don't worry! If you live in Daegu or Gyeongsan, then you may borrow books here, because I did. First, of course you need join as a member, but you may make it via website easily. Second, you just only to show alien registration card to staff and they will give you member card.

Notes: Everyone can use library. 1 person can borrow 10 books, each for 15 days. For elder 20 days and disabilities 30 days. But you can't extend your borrowed books, after return it you need 6 days to borrow it again.

For returning books, Beomeo Library is integrated with other libraries in Suseong Distric, so you may return it there. When you return it, you may use smart machine's return books!
