what's so special ✦ 4th - 7th floor ✦ Vinyl Cafe

Starfield Library Suwon (also referred as Byeolmadang Library in Korean) is probably the most famous attraction and photo hot spot of Starfield Suwon shopping mall complex.

What is so special about Starfield Library Suwon?

Starfield Library Suwon is the second Starfield Library, following the success of Starfield Library at COEX Mall in Seoul.

 

While Starfield Library Seoul is spread across 2 floors with 13m high bookshelves, Starfield Library Suwon surpasses its predecessor in size, spanning 4 floors (4th to 7th floor) with maximum bookshelves height of 22m! There is also a Starfield Library Kids that is not available at the COEX Mall branch too.

The library is ​designed to eliminate the boundaries between floors, allowing you to view the whole library and its glass ceiling anywhere from 4th to 7th floor. The bookshelves are arranged in three sections: center, left and right. At the center of the magnificent library is the Grand Staircase, a tiered seating area.

There are many pretty cozy corners with chairs/sofa and tables where you can sit back and relax in the library.

Vinyl Starfield Suwon

On the 5F of the library is LP Cafe (/Vinyl Cafe) where you can listen to LPs for a minimal entrance fee that includes 1 drink. You can choose your favourite music from the collection of 10,000 LPs that include POP, KPOP, OST, etc.

 

Each seat is equipped with a turntable (with how to use instructions) and headset. If you managed to get a 'window' seat, you will have the perfect panoramic view of Starfield Library Suwon right in front of you as you listen to your LP music.

To target the trendy age group of 20s and 30s, Starfield Suwon has brought in a large number of experiential stores, trendy designer and food brands considered as hot places in Seongsu-dong, Hannam-dong and Hongdae in Seoul. As such, over 30% of its 400 stores are not available in existing Starfields.

Starfield Suwon is also a pet-friendly mall with facilities (e.g. rooftop pet park, pet lounge, restaurants) catering to pet families.
