荒岛图书馆的建设现状与发展研究

Research on the Construction and Development of Island Libraries

荒岛图书馆是民间公益图书馆之一。荒岛图书馆在建馆模式、运营方式、持续发展等方面具有其自身特色。荒岛图书馆大多开设在私人经营场所,办馆经费来源于社会公益活动筹款,图书来源依靠捐赠、寄存、寄售,管理人员均为志愿者。荒岛图书馆具有距离社区居民近、开放时间长的优势,但同时也存在着缺乏长效的管理机制、图书与资金短缺、社会知晓率低等不足。荒岛图书馆只有通过塑造自身文化品牌、积极参与社区公共文化建设等方式,才能持续发展下去。

Island library is a type of folk public libraries. Island library has its own characteristics of construction mode, operation mode, sustainable development, and so on. It usually sets up in a business place; its library expenditure comes from public welfare activities; its books get from donation, customers deposit and consignment; its staff are often volunteers. Island library has the advantage of the closer distance with residents and the longer opening hours, but at the same time it has some deficiencies such as lack of the consistent and efficient management system, shortage of books and expenditure, and low known level of the society. Through building up the brand culture of island library and taking part in the community public culture activities, such folk public libraries could develop alive for a long time.
