1949年以来特别是改革开放以来我国公共图书馆事业有了长足发展。目前存在的主要问题是:事业发展不平衡,政府责任不到位,服务体系不完善,功能定位不清晰,人员结构不合理。公共图书馆立法在现行政策层面、学术研究层面以及地方性立法实践层面,已经有了较为坚实的基础。公共图书馆的“公共性”、公共图书馆活动的“社会性”以及普遍的国际经验,决定了立法保障公共图书馆事业发展的必要性。表2。参考文献9。 Since 1949, especially since the reform and opening up, the public library in our country has developed rapidly. The main existing problems are: unbalanced career development, lack of government responsibility, imperfect service system, unclear function orientation and irrational personnel structure. Public library legislation already has a relatively solid foundation at the current policy level, academic research level and local legislative practice level. The “publicity” of public libraries, the “sociality” of public library activities and the universal international experience determine the necessity of legislating for the development of public libraries.
