Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest strategies to improve and revitalize public small libraries established and operated by local governments among small libraries in Yangpyeong-gun. For this purpose, basic factors to be considered for the analysis of the current situation were derived by examining the policies and prior studies of small libraries. Based on these factors, the operation status of the public small libraries were analyzed, and interviews were conducted with the itinerant libertarians and staffs. As a result of the analysis, the main problems were the deterioration of a building, the lack of manpower and expertise, and the collection and program that did not reflect regional characteristics. In this study, we suggested a revitalization strategy such as improvement of the operating system, development of community-focused life-friendly libraries, reinforcement of manpower and expertise, development of book collections and reading culture programs with regional specialization, and establishment of community networks.

본 연구는 양평군 작은도서관 중 지자체에서 설립 및 운영하고 있는 공립 작은도서관의 운영 개선 및 활성화 방안을 제시하기 위하여 운영자의 인식을 조사하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 작은도서관 정책 및 활성화 방안 관련 선행연구를 조사하여 현황 분석을 위해 고려되어야 할 기본요인을 도출하였다. 이러한 요인을 기반으로 양평군 공립 작은도서관의 운영 현황을 분석하였으며, 순회사서와 운영 담당자를 대상으로 설문 및 인터뷰를 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 양평군 작은도서관 건물의 노후화, 인력 및 전문성 부족, 지역특성을 반영하지 못한 장서 구성 및 프로그램, 지역사회 네트워크 등이 주요 문제점으로 도출되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지역중심의 생활밀착형 도서관을 위한 시설 및 환경 개선, 생활밀착형 서비스 제공을 위한 인력 확충 및 전문성 강화, 지역밀착형 마을공동체 공간으로서 특성화 장서 및 독서문화프로그램 개발, 지역사회 및 유관기관과의 협력을 통한 생활중심 네트워크 구축 등의 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.
