ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study are to empirically analyze the current status of Suwon Public Libraries and make a mid- to long-term development strategies. A survey was conducted with 989 library users and non-users, and a focus group interviews was held with eight library staff members. The results show that users reported high satisfaction with librarians’ friendliness and professionalism and evaluated the overall library operations positively. In contrast, satisfaction with digital services was comparatively low. Library staff identified the excellent accessibility and extensive facility infrastructure, while the lack of professional librarians and budgetary constraints were weak. Based on these findings, the study proposes expansion of librarian staffing, intergenerational service system, reinforcement of the library as multifunctional cultural space, and enhancement of physical and cognitive accessibility.
