1997년 1월 22일을 전후하여 전국의 주요 언론매체들은 정부의 ‘경쟁력 10% 이상 높이기’추진 방안을 일제히 보도하였다. 그에 의하면 정부 기능의 민간위탁 가능분야로 상하수도, 청사건물 경비.관리, 공공차량 운영 등과 함께 도서관경연을 예시하였다. 우리 도서관에서는 이같은 정부의 느닷없는 발표를 보고 놀라움과 함께 비상한 관심을 갖게 되었다. 그러나 정부가 구상하고 있는 이른바 ‘도서관의 민간위탁’에 관하여 정부 구상의 내용은 아직 아무것도 밝혀진 것이 없고, 따라서 도서관을 민간에 위탁한다는 것은 도대체 무엇을 어떻게 한다는 뜻인지, 궁금증과 의구심맞 증폭되고 있는 형편이다. 다만, 일본의 도서관계가 이와 유사한 것을 경험한 것으로 보이는 자료들이 여럿 있다. 이에 '도서관문화‘는 그자료 가운데 하나인 ‘국립도서관의 자료와해설’(도서관문제연구회 위탁문제연구회 편집, 도서관문제연구회 발행 1996)중에서 우선 두 건의 기사를 번역하여 지난 호(제38권 제2호)본란에 게재하였고, 이어서 이 번 호에는 ‘공립도서관의 위탁에 대하여’(일본도서관협력회도서관경영관에 관한 기분문제검토위원회)를 싣는다. (이 기사의 번역 게재는 발행자의 동의를 얻었으며, 번역 작업에는 이번에도 국립중앙도서관 조재순 사서의 협력이 있었다.)

This study suggests problems with analyzing the contents of ordinances which support establishment and management of small libraries. This study analyzed the provisions which comprise the ordinances, targeting 25 ordinances that a local government enacted. The analysis targets the name of the ordinances, functions of the small libraries, guidelines of establishment, the duties of the local government, manpower in management, management rules of libraries, a steering committee etc. As a result, the provisions of the ordinances were not very different, and it was difficult to find ordinances which reflect regional characteristics. Also, in the provisions, it was pointed out as a restriction that the scale of establishment and management can be altered because there are free provisions more than compulsory ones. Thus, the ordinances of small libraries have to be regarded in local libraries' infrastructure, and supporting guidelines with efforts to assure publicity.
