Abstract

This study aims to find an efficient establishment and operation of a gallery in public libraries. A literature review, field case study, and interview method were used. 15 public library galleries in 5 regions in Korea and 11 public library galleries in 11 cities in 3 countries were examined. 22 people were interviewed and 21 (95.5%) of them claimed that a gallery needs to be operated in a public library. The result of the analysis proposes the followings for an efficient establishment and operation of a gallery in public libraries: firstly, employing an art gallery curator according to the library's situation. Secondly, establishing a gallery of at least 55m2 in size. Thirdly, allocating an appropriate budget. Fourthly, if possible, gallery rental requests are reviewed by external experts and a gallery needs to be rented out to the public free of charge. Fifthly, having an operating manual or a regulation. Sixthly, a gallery should be operated directly by the library.

본 연구는 공공도서관의 효율적인 갤러리 설치·운영 방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구를 위해 문헌 및 현장 사례 조사, 인터뷰 방법을 사용하였다. 국내 12개 지자체의 15개, 해외 3개국 11개 도시의 11개 공공도서관 갤러리를 조사·분석하였다. 국내 갤러리 운영 관계자 등 22명을 인터뷰하였고, 이 중 21명(95.5%)이 공공도서관의 갤러리 운영이 필요하다고 하였다. 효율적인 갤러리 운영을 위해 다음과 같이 제안한다. 첫째, 도서관의 상황에 따라 큐레이터를 배치한다. 둘째, 최소한 55m2 이상 규모의 갤러리를 설치한다. 셋째, 적절한 규모의 예산을 편성한다. 넷째, 가급적 외부 전문가의 심사에 따라 갤러리 대관 요청을 심사하고 공간을 시민들에게 무료로 대관한다. 다섯째, 운영 매뉴얼 및 규정을 만들어 활용한다. 여섯째, 갤러리는 도서관이 직접 운영한다.
