Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of volunteering experience at a small library in an apartment complex on the formation of a sense of community through a qualitative method. To achieve the study purpose, thirty-three volunteers from five small libraries in an apartment complex in DS-gu at D Metropolitan City were interviewed. According to the study results, they started volunteering at the libraries as a main user of the libraries. Through the volunteering experience, they had positive feelings about the libraries and were aware of the problems with the libraries. Furthermore, the volunteering experience facilitated communication among the residents of the apartment and they recognized the libraries as a shared community space. Finally, through the above processes, the volunteering experience contributes to formimg a sense of community.
