Invitation

Serving as a new model for children¡¯s festival, we are proud to present the 7th Paju Bookcity Book Festival for Children. With things left to be desired, we have been promoting the artistry of children's books published not only in Korea but abroad, contributing to cultural activities with some help from world famous artists, with books as a medium.

This year we are bringing up the theme of "My family, my home, and the city."

At places in this city, we are presenting events for visitors, a book fair in the actual scene of publication, and exhibitions depicting a family and a space as images. We are, in Paju Bookcity, aiming for the city learning from children and the children learning and growing up in the city.

Now we are enjoying beautiful flowers and sunshine in this May.

In this city of architectural artworks and balanced ecosystem, we hope that we will revive the Renaissance era of enjoying books and reading. To the scene of establishing the tradition, we are pleased to invite you.
