This study investigated what motivated Gabriel Naud$\acute{e}$(1600-1653) to become associated with the library and how he performed his librarianship. He formulated his ideas into a theory, and put the ideas into practice through three libraries. Particularly, he established the goals of the library, and provided services in keeping with the goals. Such activities are closely related to the post of a modern librarian. In addition, it was found that his ideas bear similarities to Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science. Therefore, this article carried out the study from a universal perspective from which Naud$\acute{e}$ had opened the library and provided user-centered services.

Gabriel Naud$\acute{e}$ is a great thinker and academic librarian in France who realized the spirit of universal public library in 17C. Based on the experiences of private librarian for 12 years in Italy and public librarian for 20 years in France, he concretized his thought for public library in 'la Biblioth$\grave{e}$que Mazarine', which is the essence of the spirit of public library in France. He also realized the importance of librarians as specialists, for the first time, who played important roles in the development of the library community as one of the great thinkers of public library. The purpose of this research is to study 'la Biblioth$\grave{e}$que Mazarine' where the spirit of public library had been prospered through the entire life of Gabriel Naud$\acute{e}$.
