ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the development process of Korean children’s libraries from 1945 to 2002. The development process of Korean children’s library is divided into stages as follows. First, the preparation period (after colonial liberation in 1945~1976) is the time when library services for children were started, focusing on children’s rooms in public libraries. The children’s libraries were not recognized enough to be established. Second, the growing period (1977~2002), was primarily aimed at providing library services to children. In this period, the children’s libraries were mainly established in the private sector rather than the public sector.
