The objective of this study is to establish and propose a construction plan for a new main library in a metropolitan city. The case to be discussed in this paper is the new library of Busan. Library Law revised in 2007 requires each metropolitan cities and provinces to designate a public library as the representative regional main library or to build a new one. The city of Busan has been enthusiastic to build a new main library that can serve as a representative public library for the citizen. This new public library will serve as a community center, an intellectual archive, and the policy hub for the regional information services. In this paper, the strategy for the new Busan central metropolitan library will be discussed. It will strive to illustrate elements to be considered for the planning of a regional central library as other citied and provinces may refer to for their own regional central libraries.
