Abstract

Public libraries provide information and cultural programs based on various collections as an information and culture hub in local communities. This study analyzed the cases of cultural programs of public libraries in the United States on "Programing Librarian," a website operated by the American Library Association to identify the trend of library programs. As a result of the analysis, the traditional program types such as hobbies, culture, and reading are major program types, but the new types as society and life are also appearing. New types of program activities such as social activities and experiences are also identified. In addition, it was analyzed that the tendency to effectively operate cultural programs with minimal cost is also occurring in the United States. As a marketing channel, Facebook was the most preferred method of promoting cultural programs.

공공도서관은 지역사회의 정보문화 거점으로 다양한 장서를 기반으로 정보를 제공하고 문화프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 문화프로그램을 기획하는데 기초가 될 수 있도록 미국도서관협회에서 운영하는 'Programing Librarian'에서 공유되고 있는 미국 공공도서관 문화프로그램의 최근 3년간 사례를 분석하였다. Programing Librarian'은 사서들이 도서관문화프로그램을 기획한 사례를 공유하고 새로운 아이디어나 쟁점을 논의할 수 있는 정보공유 사이트이다. 수집한 데이터를 분석결과 취미, 문화, 독서와 같은 기존 프로그램 유형이 주요 영역으로 운영되고 있지만 사회나 생활과 같은 유형의 내용도 나타나고 있으며 친목도모나 체험과 같은 새로운 형식의 프로그램도 운영되고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 최소 비용으로 문화프로그램을 효과적으로 운영하고자 하는 경향은 미국에서도 나타나고 있는 것으로 분석되었고 문화프로그램 홍보 방식으로는 Facebook이 가장 선호되는 것으로 조사되었다.
