Abstract

This study aims to analyze the functions and roles that public libraries affiliated with Offices of Education should fulfill as complex cultural institutions and to propose directions for their further development. To this end, a user survey of visitors to the Student Education and Culture Center in D Metropolitan City and in-depth interviews with educational experts were conducted. The survey results revealed that the majority of users (63.7%) perceived the center as a complex cultural and educational institution, with primary usage purposes including material lending, individual study, reading and relaxation, and participation in cultural and artistic programs. While overall satisfaction with the center’s spaces and facilities was high, there were noted demands for improvements in reading rooms, children’s material rooms, and creative experience spaces. From the in-depth interviews, several development strategies were derived, such as strengthening the functions of the school library support center, expanding regional hub libraries, developing creative and convergent programs linked to future education, expanding services for the culturally underprivileged, and restructuring infrastructure and organizational structure.
