It is essential to have adequate legal regulations to achieve the policy objectives in libraries. This study aims to analyze the structure and critical amendments of the Library Act (Law No. 18547), which was comprehensively revised on December 7, 2021 and has been in effect since December 8, 2022. This analysis examines the normative validity and effectiveness from a policy legislation perspective. As a fundamental law, we explore whether the Library Law possesses legal validity and can contribute to achieving policy objectives by elevating the societal value and qualitative improvement of libraries from an effectiveness standpoint. The analysis results suggest proposing enhancements to the content of objectives and fundamental principles, specifying the responsibilities of the state and local authorities, improving the library policy system, and enhancing the substantial influence of the National Library Commission.

In addition, this study seeks to the strategies for the public library administrative system unification by reviewing the issue details of the unification strategies. The first Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan was found to be just proclamatory without concrete and practical results through its performance analysis. The policy tasks were evaluated to lack in feasibility and specificity in the second Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan which was performed on a group of library professionals. Policy decision to determine who would be responsible for the unification into the local government was found to be valid by the results of previous research findings, policy evaluation by experts and in-depth interview survey for field practitioners. Substantial and detailed action-oriented strategy rather than bluffing and macro policy is necessary for the unification of the library administrative system. It is because we have found there exist significant issues in terms of unified approach, structure of the organization, personnel transfer and grade adjustment, property transfer, etc. through the analysis.
