Who it is for

Readers who already know how they want to work and need a quiet desk, the right boxes, and a librarian nearby. Many people book it the week after a ledger reading session.

What you leave with

You spend four hours with the material you named, on a desk that is not shared during your appointment. The papers stay in the room; your own notes go with you.

Scope

A reading appointment. Hana checks in twice. She will fetch a missing box and answer questions about how the shelf is arranged. Instruction on how to read a program sits in the ledger session, not in these hours.

Included

  • A reserved desk for four hours
  • Up to three archive boxes pulled before you arrive
  • Two check-ins from Hana Seo
  • Pencil and scrap paper
  • Water at the desk

Left for another arrangement

  • Guided reading with Minjae Park
  • Taking archive copies out of the room
  • Holding the desk overnight
  • A written briefing prepared for you

How the appointment runs

  1. Name the boxes

    Tell us the subject, or the box labels if you already know them, when you send the inquiry.

  2. Confirm the shelf

    Hana writes back to say what she can pull. If a box is with another reader that day, she offers the nearest related set.

  3. Read

    The aisle stays quiet. Low conversation is fine at your own desk. Hana stops by once in the first hour and once near the end.

  4. Return the sheets

    Every archive sheet goes back in its box before you leave. Your own notebook is the only paper that leaves the room.

Before you come

Describe the question if you do not know the box names. Hana would rather choose three useful boxes than leave you guessing in the aisle. Eat before you come; food stays in the entry.

Limits of the booking

A desk is released twenty minutes after the start time if you have not arrived. Pencils are the only mark-making used on archive copies. Saturday desks end at 16:00 with the room.

Next step
