In this Analysis using the evaluation data of public libraries located in Chungcheongnam-do, we compared and analyzed whether there was a difference in the average between the evaluation groups according to the size and institution of the public library, and analyzed the factors influencing the number of visitors to public libraries. The research data used public library evaluation data conducted in Chungcheongnam-do in 2020, and four areas of quantitative evaluation and nine detailed items were set as independent variables. Statistical analysis methods were T-test, ANOVA, and Regreesion. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant difference in the average of the evaluation group according to the affiliated organization and size. In addition, the factors affecting the number of visitors to public libraries were analyzed and presented. Implications were derived based on the analysis results, and can be used as a basis for establishing public library policies in the future.
