2026 Yangsan Reading Festival Schedule, Choi Tae-seong Talk, Drawing Contest – Yangsan Central Library with Kids

In the cool breeze of autumn,
an outdoor library opens outside Yangsan Municipal Central Library 📖

The 2026 Yangsan Reading Festival (양산 독서문화축제)
runs October 17 (Sat) to 18 (Sun)
around Yangsan Municipal Central Library.

I’ve summarized Yangsan City’s press release (September 17)
and the city library’s notice and event calendar.

🎪 About the Festival

This year’s theme is Today, Yangsan Is Reading.

It was introduced as a festival for citizens
to enjoy reading in new ways in daily life,
and for families and neighbors to share a reading culture.

Author talks, an outdoor library, a local bookstore book market,
activity booths, and cultural performances
continue for two days at the library.
The poster lists hours of 10:00 to 17:00 on both days.

🎤 When Are the Author Talks?

These are the talk times and titles
from the city library’s “Events This Month” calendar.

The press release introduced the three as writers in
history lectures (Choi Tae-seong),
child & parent education (Choi Minjun),
and finance & economics education (Ok Hyojin).

The poster says talks are taken
”partly by advance registration or first come on the day.”
The one listed in the library’s cultural event sign-up is Ok Hyojin’s talk,
for 50 students in elementary grades 3~6 at Gwanseoldang Hall.
The venues and sign-up methods for the Choi Minjun and Choi Tae-seong talks
are not given separately in the official information.

📅 What Happens Over the Two Days?

Besides the talks, these programs run
at the same times on both days.

The activities and side events on the poster are
reading activity booths, a book exchange, digital detox,
Life4Cuts photo booth, and more.
The press release described the activity booths as a place
where children and families can all take part.

🖍️ How Do You Enter the Drawing Contest?

It is a contest for elementary students linked to
this year’s book, 『엄마는 달팽이』 (Mom Is a Snail).
It takes place at the library’s outdoor plaza,
with separate sign-ups by date and grade.

Sign up under “Cultural Events” on the city library website;
each group also takes 10 people on the waiting list.
When checked on October 10, all were open for sign-up.

🎭 Are There Performances?

Both the press release and the poster
list magic and fairy-tale storytelling with classical music.
The press release also lists a children’s original musical,
and the draft poster a puppet show.
Times for each performance are not yet in the official information.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

Yangsan Municipal Central Library is at
11 Cheongnyong-ro, Mulgeum-eup (물금읍 청룡로 11).

Festival parking and shuttle guidance
are not in the official information.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

Elementary schoolers can try the drawing contest,
and grades 3~6 are the audience for Ok Hyojin’s talk.

The outdoor library and drawing contest in the morning,
then activity booths from 11:00,
can all be enjoyed one after another in the library grounds.
