Data is collected through five workshops which attended school librarians, public librarians, and the peoples in the several regional offices of education. The results show three models of school and public library cooperation. School library - public library cooperation model is suited for metropolitan area where school library and public library are developed. Public library support model is suited for mid-size cities where school libraries are undeveloped. School library and public library integration model is suited for small towns where both school libraries and public libraries are undeveloped.

This study was conducted to review the feasibility of establishing a joint preservation library centered on the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education. To achieve this, a survey and perception survey were conducted. The research results suggest the following: Firstly, the functions of the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education joint preservation library should focus on the preservation of valuable materials, the development of Chungcheongbuk-do educational and school-specialized materials, and prioritizing the digitalization of important transferred materials and providing services to the general public. Secondly, when determining the criteria for materials to be transferred in the future, priority should be given to materials that require preservation in their original form and those that need media conversion. Thirdly, when considering the types of materials to be transferred in the future, the operational plan should primarily focus on monographs but also consider other types of materials. Fourthly, regarding ownership rights of materials during the transfer process, it is advisable to establish detailed transfer guidelines, including ownership rights, through discussions between the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education and individual libraries via the Joint Preservation Library Operating Committee.
