Q: I enjoyed listening to you last week. The information about how to use Busan libraries was very helpful. Can I also get a library membership card even if I am a foreigner?

A: If you are an expat living in Busan and if your address on your alien’s card shows that you are Busan resident, you can get a library membership card.

It’s not difficult at all to apply for this ‘이음’ card.

You can do it at any library in Busan.

It just takes about 5 minutes and the librarians will help you if needed.

If you get a membership card, you can borrow five books at a time for two weeks.

The last Wednesday and Friday of each month are considered ‘Cultural Day’ aka 문화가 있는날.

On those days, you can borrow 10 books at a time.

The best thing about using a public library in Busan is that you can return your borrowed books to any library in the city.
