AB - This study aims to identify factors that hinder the utilization of discarded books in public libraries, seek solutions, and suggest methods to effectively utilize discarded books. A literature review, field case study, and interview method were used. 19 public libraries in 7 metropolitan cities and provinces across the country were examined, and 22 librarians were interviewed. The librarian’s awareness of the utilization of discarded books and their understanding of the relationship between free distribution of discarded books and the Public Official Election Act were investigated. As a result of investigating the factors hindering the use of discarded books, the Public Official Election Act was found to be the biggest factor. Accordingly, this study suggests an efficient method of enacting local government ordinance and national laws to enable free distribution of discarded books. Different utilization methods are proposed depending on the cause of discarding books.
