Korean book culture changes following the time flow and the bookstore should be changed into a space to fill the user"s need. Bosudong bookstore alley having the 60-year-old history is a place representing the Korean old book culture but it is declining quickly due to the change of the book distribution system and the backward infra. On the other hand, Small Library is rising as a central space of the community facility and is establishing itself as a small-sized cultural space leading a new book culture. Although Small Library uses a name of library, it does not only mean the physical space such as the public library but also means a library that changes the life and society made by the voluntary participation of local residents.
This study suggests a direction for developing into a community facility of Small Library and analyzes the coexistence program using the local feature. The case that satisfies the basic concept(space composition) of the library and that +A function(contents) are utilized as an exchange space is analyzed.
Small Library is expected to be a local community which will lead a new book culture by planning a space after researching/analyzing a new pattern driving from the reading/exchange behavior, and by suggesting a proper exchange program.
