[Purpose/significance] The concept of modern library was introduced to China and Japan at similar times, but after a century of common development under the influence of different national conditions and ways of thinking, there have been great differences in many aspects.[Method/process] This paper visualized the development of the public libraries of China and Japan from the years of 1997 to 2016 in five aspects, including the number of institutions, the total number of books, the number of employees, the number of registered persons, and the cost of purchasing books. The corresponding annual change chart was displayed on the per capita growth rate.[Result/conclusion] On this basis, through the influence of economy and policy on the development of Public Libraries in China and Japan, especially for Japan in the past 20 years, the paper summarized the experience and lessons, and put forward five suggestions for the development of Public Libraries in China.
