Abstract
The goal of this study is to suggest policy tasks for the public library in Seoul. For this goal, researcher compared macroscopically the gap between the Seoul city and the global competitiveness city using the core index of the public library, and analyzed microscopically the level of the Seoul city and the metropolitan cities and provinces focusing on the public library infrastructure and service index. Next, researcher evaluated the public library policies by linking the "2030 Seoul City Master Plan" and the "Library and Reading Culture Revitalization Plan". Based on the results, researcher proposed branding for global knowledge culture capitals, advancement of core competencies and systems of libraries, composition of citizen centered knowledge culture ecosystem, maximization of citizen's service satisfaction and expected benefits as future-oriented policy tasks of public libraries in Seoul.
