當代圖書館的創新營運──以臺南市立圖書館新總館為例

Innovative Operations of Contemporary Libraries: A Case Study of the New Main Building of the Tainan Public Library

本文以臺南市立圖書館新總館為例，說明新建之公共圖書館，如何在社會變遷及數位時代的潮流下，利用空間設計的硬體建設，以及各種多元的閱讀推廣活動、社教藝文活動或與其他館舍之串連合作，讓圖書館從藏書閣，轉型為多元自主的學習環境、寓教於樂的藝文展演廳、科技應用及自我實現的自造基地。南市圖新總館為嬰幼兒打造專屬閱讀區域及五感探索區，便利民眾借閱設置24小時借還書區，為視障族群提供個別服務小間及雙視書，提供繪圖、影音剪輯及文書作業軟體、創客DIY工具等，並規劃多元創新的閱讀推廣活動，向外拓展至實體書店、節慶活動、在地商圈的合作等，讓圖書館連結社區，成為市民的客廳、交流中心。

This article uses the example of the new main building of the Tainan Public Library to illustrate how newly constructed public libraries can, in the context of social change and the digital age, leverage spatial design and infrastructure, as well as diverse reading promotion activities, socio-cultural and artistic events, and collaborations with other facilities, to transform libraries from mere repositories of books into multifaceted, autonomous learning environments, edutainment exhibition halls, tech application and self-realization maker spaces. Tainan Public Library has created a dedicated reading area and sensory exploration zone for infants and toddlers, established a 24-hour borrowing and returning area for public convenience, provided individual service rooms and dual-view books for the visually impaired, and equipped spaces with software for drawing, video editing, document processing, and DIY maker tools. It also plans a variety of innovative reading promotion activities that extend outward to collaborate with physical bookstores, festivals, and local business districts, thereby connecting the library with the community and making it the living room and communication center for the city's residents.
