The purpose of this study is to examine the actual experience in establishing public libraries in I New Town, and then to propose how to build properly public libraries when new towns are constructed. In the case of I New Town, four public libraries were built in good locations but with considerable delay, and one of them was built 18 years after the new town plan was established. Those libraries are relatively bigger than the average public libraries in Korea, but their organizational structures are not ideal at all.
