ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study are to identify specialization themes for three new libraries to be established in Suwon City and to propose appropriate programs based on these themes. The study analyzed the demographic and regional characteristics of the planned library locations and conducted focus group interviews with Suwon library officials and external experts. Based on these, specialization themes were derived for each library and corresponding programs were proposed. As a result, the specialization themes were identified as ‘Entrepreneurship and Artificial Intelligence’ for Imok Library, ‘Ecology (Animals and Plants)’ for Geumgok Library, and ‘Digital’ for the Maetan Library Complex. The proposed programs include ‘Startup support for prospective entrepreneurs’, ‘Writing with ChatGPT’ for Imok Library, ‘Reading with Pets’, ‘Animal-Assisted Therapy Programs’, ‘Making Companion Plants’ for Geumgok Library, and ‘Cybersecurity and Copyright’ and ‘IT Education by Target Group’ for the Maetan Library Complex.
