How to leave a book

The shelves fill themselves through customer hands.

01
Bring a book you finished
Decent condition is enough — no need for it to be pristine.
02
Place it on an empty slot
Any shelf labeled 'Leave a book' works.
03
Pick another book you like
Take your time — no rush.
04
No exchange ratio
Genre, count, price — no need to match. Free flow.

If a book is too damaged, the owner may politely return it to you.

Bookshelf with handwritten leave-a-book memo, window light, no people

V.014 · Owner's note

Why I started in Yeongdo

After seven years as a librarian, I loved the work of choosing books — but secondhand book shops kept disappearing.

Living in Yeongdo for five years, I noticed there's nowhere for visitors to slow down. So I combined the two — here.

Take your time. Stay as long as you like.

— Lee OO, Chaekbada

Frequently asked

No — no count, genre, or price requirement. Most people leave one and take one, but it's not enforced. If shelves are empty, just bringing one is fine.
