Abstract

This study aims to analyze the content of public libraries depicted in Korean original fairy tales to understand the image of public libraries that young readers internalize. Through three rounds of book searches and content analysis, 13 Korean original fairy tales published between 2015 and 2024 were selected for the study. For content analysis, 12 detailed contents in 5 areas were set as analysis criteria. The analysis revealed a total of 451 references to public libraries across the 13 fairy tales. Of these, 378(84%) were positive references to public libraries. Among the five major areas of analysis criteria, the most frequently described one was “formation of social relationships,” with a total of 134 cases. It also had the highest number of positive references, with 126 cases. This result indicates that, in Korean original fairy tales, public libraries are perceived as institutions that serve as spaces for social interaction.
