Abstract

[Purpose/significance] By investigating the satisfaction of reading needs of the self-employed individuals, this study tries to inspect the construction of reading service system of grassroots libraries.[Method/process] In-depth interviews and survey were made with 30 self-employed individuals and the grassroots libraries around them to understand the characteristics of their reading behavior and how their reading needs are meet.[Result/conclusion] These self-employed individuals mainly met their reading needs by contacting mobile reading devices, online bookstores, physical bookstores and libraries, with the smartphone as the most popular and the library as the least popular. The community libraries are short of reading space and reading resources, there is no full-time librarian, and daily reading service is absent. The reason is that the district library is unable to participate in the administration of community libraries, and the evaluation on the district library is unable to promote the community libraries to play its role. It is suggested to strengthen the coordination at the government level and enhance the administrative function of the district and county libraries on the community libraries; to help the community libraries to carry out standardized daily services; to incorporate the service conditions and service efficiency of community libraries into the evaluation system of community and district libraries.
