This study aims to suggest anti-theft methods in general collection room of public library. To resolve space planning problems found by analysing visibility and circularity of nine public libraries in Daegu City, the following planning directions were suggested: (1) Consider proper distribution of visual depth and user's circularity at the areas of Information and Culture. (2) Avoid generating visual intersection within Cultural Area to allow user's visual interaction for other users and surrounded environment. (3) Simplify circulation path at Support & Service Area to strengthen library staff services. (4) Allocate Support & Service Area to enable library staffs' natural surveillance toward facilities and users through the visual intercourse between library staffs and users. (5) Contrive users' spatial cognition from neighbor areas to Common Area by planning visual depth shallowly.
