ABSTRACT

It was considered that the construction of new towns between the late 1940s and the early 1990s affected the increase of the number of public libraries in the U.K. Many new towns are being built in Korea. This is a very good chance to build more public libraries in Korea. This study selected and examined Milton Keynes which is one of the best new towns in the U.K. to see how the public libraries were built in the new town. It was revealed that the plan of building public libraries was included in the new town plan and public libraries were built according to these plans.
