However, the development of county library in the northern part of Guangxi province has lagged behind due to its poor economy, backwardness of the area and the shortage of professional staff.

The results of the survey are collected and further analyzed to understand the need and expectation of public libraries. In the paper, the questions are raised and then solutions are found and put forward.
