Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the administrative system and legislation of Canada's libraries with priority given to public library. Canada is a constitutional monarchy, a federal state and parliamentary democracy with 10 provinces and 3 territories and two systems of law(civil law and common law). There are about 1,045 public libraries in total and its governance and legislation is a provincial responsibility. For that reason. federal government did not legislate on public libraries and library act is the provincial public library statute authorizing the establishment and operation of public libraries and their management by boards. In Canada. each provincial library act provides for four types of public libraries : municipal libraries, regional libraries, districts libraries, and integrated public library systems.

이 연구는 국내에서 거의 논급되지 않은 캐나다의 공공도서관을 중심으로 그 행정체계와 법제를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 캐나다는 10개의 주와 3개의 준주로 구성된 연방제 국가이며, 법률시스템은 불문법과 성문법을 혼용하고 있다. 현재 공공도서관은 약 1,045개이며, 이들의 관할 및 법제의 권한은 주 정부에 귀속되어 있다. 그렇기 때문에 연방정부 차원의 공공도서관법은 없으며, 각각의 주정부가 제정한 도서관법령에서 그들의 설립 운영$\cdot$관리의 권한을 규정하고 있다.
