November 2010, when it became the representative library of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province
The Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library was designated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as the representative library of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province in November 2010. Its operating institution is Jeonbuk State, and in addition to general public library operations, it is responsible for the comprehensive collection, organization, and preservation of materials from Jeonbuk.
Since its designation as the representative library, it has also been responsible for supporting and coordinating public libraries within the province, supporting the establishment and operation of small libraries, and promoting reading among local residents. Therefore, travelers should understand it not so much as a tourist attraction but as an administrative and cultural facility supporting Jeonbuk’s library network.
First distinguish the address at 225 Hyoja-ro from the listing at 306 Baekje-daero
The road-name address of the Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library listed in public data is 225 Hyoja-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, and its administrative neighborhood is listed as Hyoja-dong 3-ga, Wansan-gu. The official website address is http://library.jeonbuk.go.kr.
The relationship between the 306 Baekje-daero Jeonju Municipal Library Kkotshim listing entered in travel plans and the Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library’s public-data address at 225 Hyoja-ro cannot be confirmed from publicly available materials alone. For navigation, first cross-check “Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library” together with 225 Hyoja-ro, and safely confirm the destination by calling 063-280-2452 before visiting.
Open weekdays from 09:00 to 18:00; closed on weekends and public holidays
The Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library is open from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, and admission is free. Tourist information also lists the hours as 09:00–18:00 and the usage fee as free, so visitors can stop by without cost between morning reading and afternoon plans.
It is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Since the operating hours of individual reference rooms, admission cutoff time, and whether reservations are required could not be confirmed from public materials, visitors planning to arrive just before 18:00 or participate in a specific program should call the library at 063-280-2452.
132 seats and 84,569 volumes in a 1,028㎡ building
Both the library’s total floor area and the building area listed in public data are 1,028㎡. Public data lists 132 reading seats, while tourist information separately lists 150 reading seats as the capacity, so the number of seats varies depending on the source.
The collection comprises 84,569 books, 119 periodical titles, and 44 non-book materials. According to data from 2024, the borrowing limit is five items and the borrowing period is 14 days, so visitors wishing to borrow materials on site should separately confirm membership eligibility and borrowing procedures.
Using the Hyoja-ro Jeollabuk-do Provincial Office and Euro Hospital stops
Nearby stops are listed as Hyoja-ro Jeollabuk-do Provincial Office and Euro Hospital. The Hyoja-ro Jeollabuk-do Provincial Office stop is listed about 136 m from the library location, and its stop number is 3110567.
Rural general bus route 26, running between Gimje-si Hyoja-ro Jeollabuk-do Provincial Office and Sijangtong, operates at Hyoja-ro Jeollabuk-do Provincial Office. At the Euro Hospital stop, Jeonju-si general buses 6, 61, 104, 165, and 200, among others, are listed. However, route operations and stop information are based on materials checked in 2026, and subway stations, exit numbers, and walking times from the stops to the library could not be confirmed from public materials.
Combine free parking with a visit to the smart library outside the provincial office
Tourist information states that parking facilities are available and parking is free. However, the number of spaces, alternative parking when full, the distance between the library entrance and parking area, and whether the parking area is open on weekends have not been confirmed. The library itself is closed on weekends and public holidays.
A smart library is reported to be installed between the civil service office outside the provincial office building and the rear entrance of the post office. According to information from 2019, it can be used with an identification card or Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library membership card, and books held by the smart library can be searched on the Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library website.
Reading and culture programs held at a place that collects Jeonbuk materials
The Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library has operated reading and culture programs. In 2023, it operated a humanities lecture program titled “Humanities on the Road: Rediscovering Jeollabuk-do.” This demonstrates how the library’s function has expanded beyond a simple reading space to include lectures on the region’s history and culture.
Official materials also record the operation of library reading and culture programs in 2015. Since program schedules, application methods, foreign-language information, audio guides, permitted photography areas, and wheelchair and stroller accessibility could not be confirmed from public materials, foreign visitors intending to participate in a program should use the official website and call 063-280-2452.
Why three phone numbers appear and which number to use before visiting
The library phone number in public data is 063-280-2452, while the inquiry and information number in tourist materials is 063-280-2454. A 2022 recruitment notice lists 280-2451 as the inquiry number for the Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library, so the numbers differ by source.
For general library inquiries, use 063-280-2452 first, and if you cannot connect, try 063-280-2454, which is listed in the tourist information. The Jeonbuk Provincial Office Library appeared in nationwide library map data dated January 29, 2025, at 03:07:18, and facility information may vary according to the data reference date and the organization providing the information.
