The history of modern libraries in Korea is less than 150 years. Nevertheless, there are various issues about when the word library appeared, how it was transformed, and the name and overall appearance of the library opened by the Busanpo branch of the Nihon Kodo-kai during the enlightenment period. Therefore, this study analyzed and argued many issues. As a result, it was found that the word library appeared in poetry collections, tombstones, and diaries from the early Joseon dynasty. Although it was widely held that the library was first introduced by Yu Gil-jun's 「Seoyugyeonmun, 1895」, it appeared in Lee Hun-young's 「Iisajipryak」 and was also introduced in 「Hanseongsunbo, 1884」. And the first name given to the facility was Kodo library, which was opened by the Busanpo branch on October 10, 1901. Book club, reading club (library), Busan(Busan district) library, Kodo bookstore, Kodo-kai library, etc. which are described in many documents are all errors. The location of the library was a temporary house on a leased site in Seosanhajeong of Yongdusan mountain. And it is presumed that it has secured about one room and 1,000 Japanese and Western books, and provided fee-based services to Japanese residents. Although the Kodo library is not the first public library established by a Korean, it is undeniable that it was the first public library to exist in Korea. Therefore, when defining the character of the Kodo library, it is necessary to have a coolness and discernment beyond national emotions, historical conflicts, and ideological frames.

광복 50년의 역사에는 출판계의 크고 작은 사건들이 자리한다. 출판 50년의 세월은 고스란히 굴곡 많은 우리나라 현대사의 격랑과 함께 걸오온 셈이다. 광복 직후 극심했던 용지난과 일어판 문제 등 업계 공동으로 해결해야 할 과제들이 늘어나자 '조선출판문협회'를 결성했다. 60, 70년대에는 출판계가 꾸준히 요구해온 출판영업 면세안이 국회에서 통과됐는가 하면 80년대는 출판자유화 조치와 함께 이념도서가 해금돼 출판의 금서영역을 무너뜨렸다. 90년대에는 첫 국제도서전시회를 치렀는가 하면 출판계 숙원이 '출판문화단지'의 꿈이 더욱 가시화하기 시작했다. 그런가 하면 '검인정 교과서 파동'이나 '출판사등록 무너기 취소' 학생들의 '서점불매운동' 등 깊은 상처로 남은 사건들도 있다. 긍정적이든 부정적이든 지나온 사건들은 오늘의 출판문화를 일군 밑거름이 된 셈이다. 광복 직후부터 오늘에 이르기까지 출판계에 전기를 마련한 핵심적인 사안들을 살펴봄으로써 우리 출판문화의 미래상을 생각해본다.
