Getting in

Entrance: You can reach the main entrance by wheelchair on a gentle slope and a ramp, and the door is automatic. The bookstore also has a separate accessible entrance.
Ramp: The ramp to the door appears long and may have no railing on the bike path side. Take care near that edge.
Parking: Sincheon Yusuji Public Parking Lot (신천유수지 공영주차장) appears to have 5 accessible spaces. Ask at the lot whether your vehicle can use them.

Inside

Space: You have enough room to move around inside the bookstore.
Toilets: The accessible toilet is inside the general restroom, and its slightly narrow stall can be awkward to use. Grab bars appear to be on both sides: L-shaped on the left, folding on the right.
Desks: You can reach the information desk and book search station by wheelchair.
