Gyeonggi Provincial Library Holds First "User Self-Governance Council" Meeting on the 11th...Discusses Coexistence Rules
Gyeonggi Provincial Library will launch a "User Self-Governance Council" on the 11th and hold its first meeting.
Although public libraries are spaces that anyone can freely use, conflicts sometimes arise as different usage styles such as reading, studying, resting, and communication coexist within the same space.
Gyeonggi Provincial Library formed the self-governance council to resolve these issues based not on administrative control or regulation, but on agreement and mutual respect among users.
The self-governance council consists of 30 Gyeonggi residents selected through an open call in January.
Participants span a wide range of ages, from teenagers to older adults.
The council is divided into four sectors: "Focus," representing book reading and individual work; "Social," representing communication and cultural activities; "Together," representing family users; and "Rest," representing those who prefer comfortable relaxation.
At its first meeting, Gyeonggi Provincial Library will hold discussions to establish the "Gyeonggi Provincial Library Coexistence Rules." Participating residents will share cases and user experiences from the pilot operation period and directly propose concrete usage etiquette and standards that can be applied in the actual library.
In addition, they will exchange opinions on how to ensure the council’s sustainable operation and on promotional strategies to broaden public support among Gyeonggi residents.
The proposals and rules derived through the meeting will be reviewed and then given priority in being reflected in Gyeonggi Provincial Library’s operational guidelines and user culture policies.

Yoon Myunghee, Director of Gyeonggi Provincial Library, said, "This self-governance council is the first attempt for Gyeonggi residents to directly shape the culture of library use," adding, "We will spare no effort in supporting Gyeonggi Provincial Library so that it can grow beyond a space for reading books into a true public platform completed by the voices of residents."
