(10 Jun 2026) Seoul is turning its open-air libraries into hybrid reading rooms, turning a QR code into a gateway to thousands of e-books under a new pilot program launched with Korean e-commerce company Yes24.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said Wednesday it has partnered with Yes24 to introduce a location-based e-book service called “Crema Club QR” at three major outdoor library sites across the city.
Officials said the system allows users to access free e-books on site simply by scanning a QR code and completing a GPS-based location verification process, eliminating the need for additional sign-ups.
