Abstract

This study's purpose is to suggest ways to improve and revitalize public libraries' operations to reflect the Yangpyeong-gun community's characteristics. To this end, the Yangpyeong-gun region's characteristics and the current state of public library operation were analyzed, and a survey was conducted targeting Yangpyeong-gun residents (library users and nonusers). Additionally, interviews were conducted to investigate the library's operating status and limitations and librarians' perceptions of library revitalization plans. As a result of the analysis, in Yangpyeong-gun, improvement points such as library operation improvement and library accessibility improvement reflecting local community changes such as urban development, population change, manpower and collections expansion, complex cultural space strengthening, reading culture programs, and user services were derived.

본 연구는 양평군 지역사회의 특성을 반영한 공공도서관의 운영 개선 및 활성화 방안을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 양평군 지역특성 및 공공도서관 운영 현황을 분석하였으며, 양평군민(도서관 이용자 및 비이용자)을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 또한 도서관의 운영 현황 및 한계점, 도서관 활성화 방안에 대한 사서들의 인식조사를 위하여 인터뷰를 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 양평군은 도서관 접근성 취약, 인력 및 장서 부족, 지역특성을 반영하지 못한 프로그램, 도서관 공간 부족 및 건물의 노후화 등이 주요 문제점으로 도출되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 접근성 개선을 위한 지역중심의 생활밀착형 도서관, 인력 및 장서 확충, 지역사회 변화를 반영한 프로그램 개발, 신규 도서관 건립을 통한 복합문화공간 제공 등의 활성화 방안을 제시하였다.
