This study aims to quantitatively examine the effects of book curation programs operated at Library A in Hwaseong City from 2022 to 2024 on book use and collection utilization. By comparing usage levels between curated and non-curated books and analyzing circulation changes before and after selection, the results indicate that curated books consistently show higher circulation growth, turnover rates, and use factors, with circulation increases in most operation months. These findings suggest that book curation can function as an effective strategy for stably enhancing collection circulation and use efficiency.
