- A named shelf card written at the counter
- Two booklets out at a time, from any stack
- One swap during the eight weeks, during opening hours
- A reminder of the return day in the confirmation email
What stays at home

- The card does not include a desk session or a circle seat
- We do not post booklets; pickup is at the room
Who you sit with
Park Hye-rin issues cards and checks returns. Min Jae-won can suggest a first pair of titles if you ask at the counter.
How it runs
-
Ask for a card
Write with the dates you can visit. We confirm the fee and a pickup window.
-
Choose two titles
At the counter, pick two booklets. The slip records the titles and the return date eight weeks out.
-
Return or swap
Bring both booklets back by the date on the slip. One swap is included if you want a different stack before the term ends.
Before you come
- Bring a name we can write on the slip and an email for the reminder.
- Plan to carry the booklets yourself. They are paper, and they dislike rain; a bag is enough.
Limits of the booking
- Two titles at a time. The shelf is small, and the circle also uses copies.
- A booklet that is out with the circle on Thursday afternoon may be back on Friday.
- Lost booklets are billed at the print cost stated on the slip, usually 12,000 KRW each.
