국내 성인 10명 중 3명이 1년에 한 권의 책도 읽지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 최근 문화체육관광부가 발표한 '2009년 국민 독서실태조사' 결과에 따르면 1년간 1권 이상의 책을 읽은 사람의 비율을 나타내는 독서율이 성인의 경우 71.7%로 전년에 비해 0.5%포인트 하락했다. 즉 28.3%의 성인은 1년간 단 한 권도 안 읽었다는 말이다. 성인들의 연평균 독서량도 10.9권으로 전년(11.9권)에 비해 1권 줄었다. 성인의 평균 독서시간은 평일 28분, 주말 29분으로 전년 대비 1분씩 감소했다. 아울러 성인은 여가시간 활용비율 중 '책 읽기'가 차지하는 비중이 7위에 불과했다. 1위는 TV시청이었고 인터넷, 수면 휴식, 만남 모임, 집안일, 운동 등 답변이 뒤를 이었다. 반면 1학기 동안 1권 이상 책을 읽은 학생의 비율(학생 독서율)은 93.7%로 전년 대비 4.6%포인트 늘었다. 학생들의 1학기 평균 독서량은 2008년 14권에서 지난해 16권으로 늘었다. 이는 1994년 조사가 실시된 이래 가장 많은 독서량이다. 초등학생은 하루 평균 56분을 독서에 할애하는 것으로 나타났다. 중학생은 40분, 고등학생은 38분으로 학교 급이 높을 수록 독서시간이 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 이번 국민독서실태 조사는 만 18세 이상 성인 1000명과 초 중 고등학생 3000명을 대상으로 실시됐다. 다음은 "2009 국민독서실태조사" 결과 요약이다.

In an attempt to promote reading among middle school students which has been declining sharply, this study suggests new directions for reading education in school libraries. The study examined the following: correlation between students' attitudes toward reading and their reading achievements as revealed in PISA 2009, nationwide survey results on reading, and studies on attitudes and motives for reading. Korean students' reading achievement is very high among the OECD countries but their reading attitude is not positive enough. The strong positive relationship between pleasure reading and reading achievement indicates the importance of the provision of ample collections at school libraries as well as library programs fostering independent, free-will reading. Reading programs at school libraries should cater to students' individual characteristics and needs, such as their sex, abilities, affective and cognitive attitudes, experiences, as well as the quantity, the formats, and the time of their reading, etc.

On the basis of the evaluation results, the study identified the problem of the policies and programs and provided the strategies for improving them. In addition, it proposed the direction of the reading culture promotion policies for expanding the reading culture.
