AB - This study aims to explore the appropriateness of the recently added special provision for depopulated areas, in relation to the registration system for public libraries under the revised Library Law. To do so, we examined the expected registration rate of public libraries that applied the special provision, investigated the differences between the status of libraries that applied the special exemptions and those that did not, and identified the perceptions of librarians concerning the registration system and the special provision. The results revealed that more than half of public libraries could not meet registration requirements due to a shortage of librarians. Furthermore, a comparison of the collections, services, and user numbers of libraries with and without special provision indicated that libraries under the provision would struggle to function effectively with the minimum standard of one librarian stipulated by the special provision. The public librarians concerned that the provision might make it even harder to increase librarian numbers in the long term. Consequently, the study emphasizes the need for long-term, gradual plans to ensure that public libraries in depopulated areas can meet the legally required librarian staffing levels once the special provision expires.
