ABSTRACT

As we enter the 21st century, Korean libraries have embarked on a journey of change. The reason that libraries in Korea have sought to achieve dynamic changes is that various citizens’ organizations have analyzed the issue from their point of view, deduced the problem, conveyed this to the general public and thus revitalized the structure of mutual understanding in reaching a solution. The two most notable civilian organizations active in the Korean library area are ‘the National Union for Revival of School Libraries’ and ‘the Citizen Action for Reading Culture’. This study examined the history and activities of these organizations and investigated how they worked with the central and local governments for improving school and public libraries and for promoting reading.
