Rates
Fees for time in the room, not for a verdict.
You pay for a librarian’s hours and, when a packet is printed, for that paper. The fee does not buy a trade instruction. Prices are in Korean won and are current for sittings booked in 2026.
| Sitting | Fee | Length | How you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Risk Reading | 180,000 KRW | 90 minutes | Fixed fee for one sitting, paid at the desk when you arrive |
| Circle Briefing | 65,000 KRW per seat | 2 hours | Per person, paid by transfer after the library confirms the seat in writing |
| Shelf Pass | 40,000 KRW | 4 hours | Fixed fee for one half day, paid at the desk when you arrive |
What the private fee covers
180,000 KRW pays for one ninety-minute sitting and a packet on up to three programs, plus the follow-up letter. If your list is longer, the guide stops at the clock and offers another ninety minutes on a later day for 120,000 KRW. That second sitting is its own appointment, with its own packet pages.
Circle seats
A circle seat is 65,000 KRW. The library names a transfer account only after it confirms that a chair is free. The transfer is the full payment. There is no separate deposit. The handout is included. A personal position review is not included at that price; readers who want one book the private desk.
Shelf pass
40,000 KRW covers one half day, either 9:30–13:30 or 14:00–18:00, Tuesday to Friday. You pay at the desk. The question desk will locate a binder. If you decide during the half day that you want a coached reading, that is a separate booking and a separate fee.
What we do not charge for
Looking at the public briefing list, reading the journal, and sending a short catalog question by email are free. A catalog question asks where a sheet lives. A request to interpret your own position is a private risk reading.
Cancellation timing, no-shows, and printed packets already prepared are set out on the refund page.
