Abstract

This article intends to explore both progress and problems in local library policies of South Korea, with emphasis on public libraries. Special concerns are given to analyze the strength and weakness of local library regulations and implementation plans, prepared for the promotion of local public libraries. Also investigated are the structural problems in both current procedures and systems for library policy making. The final discussion includes the customized solutions to make local library policies be healthy and reliable, as well as the analysis on the indigenous factors to make local library policies be weak and defective.

이 연구의 목적은 2009년부터 본격적으로 추진되어온 도서관정책의 성과와 한계를 지역 공공도서관정책의 건강성에 대한 점검을 통해 가늠해 보는 데 있다. 이를 위해, 지역 공공도서관정책의 법적 근거가 되는 도서관 조례와 내용적 길잡이가 되는 시행계획부터 점검하였다. 이어서 기존 정책이 지역 공공도서관에 가져온 긍정적 변화와 그 이면에 공존하는 부정적 모습을 밝혀내었다. 마지막으로, 기존 정책에 내재하는 구조적 한계에 집중하면서 정책의 건강성을 제고하기 위한 실사구시적인 처방을 모색하였다.
