This study discussed the trends and characteristics of mental health services in the public libraries of North America. To accomplish this, this study collected its data through literature surveys, observations and interviews with librarians within the Vancouver public library system. The results show that there were many cases in which patrons asked public libraries for information on their mental health problems and the public libraries helped the patrons cope with their problems. The public libraries' assistance programs for national tragedies and natural disasters were temporary services. On the other hand, public libraries were continuously advising and guiding patrons dealing with emotional and psychological problems through the readers' advisory and information services. Specifically, public libraries were actively assisting various sensitive issues that are generated in the development of children and youths(for example, adoption, divorce and separation, remarriage, family, friendship, disabilities, death, self-esteem, emotions, bulling, violence, abuse, suicide, illness, addiction, sexual health, youth pregnancy and so on). The key role of librarians under these circumstances was to guide and recommend appropriate books and professional institutions that help solve the problems.

This study analyzed Korean children's books that include ethnically and racially diverse characters, focusing on representation of ethnic minority and cultural sensitivity. Drawing from fiction recommendations by Happy Morning Reading from 2005 to 2017, only 32 books out of 3,214 books, less than 1%, include people with racially and ethnically diverse background. Among the 32 books, 23 featured educative messages inspired by the belief of social justice; four could be categorized as so-called 'melting pot' books, five depicted stories featuring characters that respect different cultures from their own. The issue tackled in the stories differed with the economical standing of the character's country of origin. When a character or her/his parent is from a developing country, the main issues of the book were racial discrimination, bullying, hostility against foreign-born parents, or harsh experience of migrant workers. On the other hand, when a character or her/his parent is from a developed country, the plots often surround the character's hopes, wishes, or personal worries. Only one book was illustrated by a person with immigration background; the others were all written and illustrated by Koreans with no immigration background.

As the number of Instagram users continues to grow, an increasing number of public libraries are establishing and maintaining accounts on the Instagram platform. The objective of this study is to classify and analyze the content of Instagram posts from 14 public libraries that are actively engaged on the platform. A classification of post types, divided into seven large, 16 medium, and 76 small categories, was employed to analyze the content of posts on each library's Instagram account from the account's inception to the end of December 2023. The analysis revealed that library posts focused on a few items, including book recommendations, library introductions and news, and event announcements of literary and arts programs. Program event announcements and reviews, book recommendations and reading programs were found to be highly correlated with user engagement and teen reading programs. Based on these findings, it is recommended that future Instagram posts should be more user-centered and interactive, and that libraries should actively promote their events on Instagram and other social media platforms.

This study analyzed the effects of comic book reading program on Korean proficiency and acculturation of youth with immigration background, by conducting a six-month reading program with five teenagers with immigration background. Ten comic books were selected from published by School Library Journal, based on the themes - that are related to the lives of youth with immigration background - and interests of participating teens. According to the literacy skills test conducted before and after the reading program, the participating teens' Korean proficiency has generally improved, particularly in the areas of interpretation and vocabulary. In terms of writing, grammatically incorrect sentences, phrases, and expressions have declined. Most participants showed stable adjustment to Korean culture, but one participant who felt still insecure of her ethnic identity deeply empathized with one of the characters of the books, and shared the difficulties of living as an outsider of a society. The participants of this research learned or rediscovered the joy of reading through this comic book reading program; at the end of the program, many of them expanded their interest in reading novels, books without any illustrations.

21세기 지식정보화 시대의 도래에 대비하여 출판 및 인쇄산업을 지식산업의 중심기반으로 육성.진흥하기 위하여 그동안 의원입법(심재권의원 대표발의, 의원32명 공동발의)으로 추진해 오던 "출판 및 인쇄진흥법"이 7월 31일 국회 본회의를 통과했다. 5장 27조로 구성된 동 법률은 현행 출판인쇄 관련 법령인 '출판사 및 인쇄소의 등록 등에 관한법률'과 '외국 간행물 수입배포에 관한법률'을 통합하여, 문화산업의 핵심기반 콘텐츠인 출판 및 인쇄산업의 미래지향적이고 종합적인 진흥을 목적으로 제정되었으며, 법률 시행령 제정 등 후속 절차를 거쳐 공포 6개월 후에 시행될 예정이다. 이 법률의 주요골자는 첫째, 문화관광부장관이 출판 및 인쇄문화산업 지원 육성을 위한 진흥시책을 매 3년마다 수립.시행하도록 했다. 둘째, 출판사 및 인쇄사의 등록제를 신고제로 전환하며, 외국 간행물 수입추천을 받고자 하는 자의 수수료 납부 규정을 삭제하는 한편, 외국 간행물 수입관련 벌칙규정을 형벌에서 과태료로 대폭 완화하는 등 규제를 완화했다. 셋째, 출판의 형태가 점차 디지털 방식으로 변화하는 시대적 추세에 발맞춰 이에 대한 제도적인 체제를 초기에 정립하여 전자출판사업을 육성하고자 전자출판물에 관한 개념규정을 신설하였다. 넷째, 위기에 처한 출판.서점업계를 살리기 위해 지난 77년부터 시행되어 왔으나 최근 위기에 봉착한 도서정가제를 규정함에 있어 공정거래위원장이 문화관광부장관과 협의하여 지정하는 발행된지 1년 이내의 도서에 한하여 정가판매를 의무화 하였으며, 동 규정의 적용시한을 5년간으로 하되, 이를 어긴 사람에게는 과태료를 부과하게 하여 시행에 있어서는 좀더 강제성을 가지도록 하였다. 다섯째, 현행 '청소년보호법' 상에 있던 한국간행물윤리위원회의 설치.운영근거를 이 법으로 이관하여 동 위원회가 사실상 문화광광부에 속해있는 점을 감안, 형식과 내용이 일치되도록 하였다. 여섯째, 불법복제간행물 및 유해간행물에 대하여는 관할 행정관청이 수거.폐기를 명할 수 있고, 이에 불응할 경우에는 직접 수거.페기할 수 있도록 하였다. 일곱째, 이 법의 제정에 따라 '출판사 및 인쇄소의 등록에 관한법률'과 '외국간행물 수입배포에 관한법률'은 폐지하도록 하였다. 한편 이번 동법 제정으로 21세기 지식정보시대에 문화산업의 핵심기반이 되는 출판인쇄산업의 발전에 있어 출판인쇄산업의 중흥과 건전한 출판유통의 질서확립 등 새로운 이정표를 제시한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 다음은 동법률 중 인쇄와 관련된 조항을 요약, 소개한다.

In order to develop a picture book for desirable eating habits of young children, the contents of nutrition education in picture books were analyzed. A total of 128 picture books were analyzed: 42 picture books from the Nuri-curriculum teacher's guide (Nuri), 40 picture books recommended by the National Library for Children & Young Adults (NLCY), and 46 picture books published by the Center for Children's Food-service Management (CCFM). As a result of analysis of dietary guidelines for Koreans, the item that appeared most frequently in picture books was 'Consume a variety of foods every day' (28.91%). The second most common dietary guidelines in the picture books was 'Enjoy a diet that incorporates local ingredients and is environmentally conscious' (21.88%). As a result of examining the main goal of 'eating right' in the Nuri Curriculum, 'healthy food' accounted for 36.72% and 'eating a variety of food' accounted for 30.47%. 'Eating with the right attitude' 4.69%, 'valuing food' 3.13%, and 'dining etiquette' 6.25% were low. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and distribute picture books that reflect the contents that are insufficient.
