The addition of structures later on created its current form as a cultural complex. Today, Paju Book City is home to a large collection of publishing houses, printing companies, and bookbinding companies. Some publishing houses run their own libraries, secondhand book shops, and thematic libraries. There are plenty of book cafés and art shops in the area, and visitors can also occasionally enjoy cultural events, lectures, and concerts by publishing houses.
