Lost in thought, surrounded by books

#seoul We purposely looked for Starfield Library in COEX Mall as I really wanted to see the place in person. Fantastic! That's the right word for me. We were mesmerized with its eyecatching design and thousands of available books that rose all the way to the glass ceiling. That ceiling also greatly added to the ambiance and let in lots of natural light during the day. The space is full of books but it’s large and airy, and there’s so much public seating around that you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There are two floors, with cafes and even more seats tucked into the walls of books. However, it is not quiet. It is a tourist spot, and people are continually moving in and out. There’s a lot of foot traffic at the center of the library, but the second floor and the outer areas of the first floor are quiet and relaxing. A nice place to visit especially if you are thinking of shopping in the malls as well. You can also just pop in to see it and enjoy a coffee or snack at one of the cafes Tip: If you go in December, the library puts up a beautiful tall Christmas tree and projects a huge festive video across the entirety of the bookshelf walls! #vacation #library #coexmall #books
