Welcome to the

National Assembly Library.

Hello, this is Myung Woo Lee, the Chief Librarian. Welcome to the Korean National Assembly Library.

What kind of impression did you have in mind when you visited the National Assembly Library today?

The National Assembly Library took its first step as a small library in Busan, the wartime capital, in 1952, and this year marks its 72nd anniversary. Over the past 70 years, the National Assembly Library has evolved into one of the world's leading libraries, holding over 8.2 million volumes and more than 400 million pages of electronic documents as of 2024.

This year, 2024, marks the inaugural year of the National Assembly Library's "Legislative Services in the AI Transformation Era."

As a legislative support agency for the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, the National Assembly Library provides the best legislative and parliamentary information services based on data and evidence, focusing on standing committees.

As a future-oriented library leading the digital transformation era, the National Assembly Library is advancing intelligent information services based on data and artificial intelligence.

The National Assembly Busan Library, opened as the first branch of the National Assembly Library in 2022, has established itself as a leading knowledge service institution and a multifunctional cultural space in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region, providing legislative information services supporting the activities of local councils.

The second branch of the National Assembly Library, the Sejong Branch, is scheduled to be built within the Sejong Assembly Hall. It will contribute to the supporting legislative activities as well as the balanced development of the nation through the decentralized preservation of national knowledge assets and the spread of knowledge and culture.

Above all, the National Assembly Library is committed to being a "platform for knowledge, information, and culture" for the people, ensuring that every citizen can enjoy knowledge and culture anytime, anywhere, quickly and conveniently. We are grateful for your unwavering support to the National Assembly Library. We will always listen to your valuable suggestions and opinions to become a better National Assembly Library.
