1992년 영국에서 시작된 영아독서운동인 북스타트(Bookstart)가 2003년 우리나라에 도입되어 몇몇 지자체들을(서울 중랑구, 서울 중구, 인천 연수구, 전남 순천시) 중심으로 시행되고 있는 가운데, 공공도서관을 기반으로 한 북스타트 운동이 울산남부도서관(관장 고경희)에서 전국 최초로 시작되었다. 도서관은 이를 계기로 지난 1월 26일 도서관 1층에 40평 규모의 영ㆍ유아자료실을 새롭게 마련하고, 북스타트 운동의 확산에 힘을 기울이고 있다. 도서관의 북스타트 운동은 지역주민들의 호응을 얻어 관련 예산이 10배 가량 증액되는 성과를 얻었으며, 담당자는 이 운동에 관심을 갖고 사업을 준비하려는 전국 공공도서관의 문의에 답하느라 요즘 정신이 없다고 한다. 적은 예산과 인원으로 현상 유지도 빠듯한 요즈음, 새로운 프로그램 도입을 개척해나가는 도서관 운동가들의 열정에 경의를 표한다.

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.
