초록

본 연구는 공공도서관 사서들의 청소년 전용 공간에 대한 인식과 태도를 분석하기 위해 부산지역 공공도서관 25개관과 해당 도서관에서 근무하는 사서 142명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 청소년서비스 담당 경험이 있는 사서 3명과 심층면담을 진행하였다. 연구 결과, 부산시 공공도서관 사서들은 청소년 이용자와 청소년 서비스의 필요성을 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 청소년 전용 공간의 필요성에 대해서도 긍정적인 태도를 보였다. 특히 청소년 전용 공간 운영에서 가장 중요한 요소는 청소년의 의견을 존중하고 참여를 활성화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 실현하기 위해서는 도서관 관계자들의 인식 전환이 우선되어야 하며, 사서는 청소년이 도서관 공간의 진정한 주체임을 인식하고 그들이 주도적으로 공간을 만들어갈 수 있도록 지원해야 한다는 점이 확인되었다. 아울러 청소년의 의견이 수서, 프로그램 기획 및 운영 등 다양한 서비스 영역에 적극 반영되어야 한다는 점도 강조되었다.

This study analyzed public librarians' perceptions and attitudes toward youth-only spaces by conducting a survey of 142 librarians working at 25 public libraries in the Busan area that provide services for youth, and conducting in-depth interviews with 3 librarians who have experience in youth services. The research findings showed that public librarians in Busan highly recognize the necessity of teen users and teen services, and also demonstrated positive attitudes toward the need for youth-only spaces. In particular, the most important factor in operating youth-only spaces was found to be respecting youth opinions and promoting their participation. To realize this, a shift in awareness among library stakeholders must be prioritized, and it was confirmed that librarians should recognize that youth are the true owners of library spaces and support them in proactively creating these spaces. Additionally, it was emphasized that youth opinions should be actively reflected in various service areas including collection development, program planning, and operations.
