近年來國內有些公共圖書館逐漸注意到青少年服務，並嘗試提撥青少年專用空間。由於此一主題研究甚少，規劃空間時缺乏相關參考資料。作者特蒐閱文獻，根據國外青少年專區案例，專家研究的成果及個人實地訪談經驗，先簡釋青少年專區的意義，再建議青少年專區規劃之前置作業及規劃青少年專區的要項，以供圖書館界規劃專區時參考。

In recent years some public libraries in Taiwan moved forward and noted the long neglected information needs of young adults and young adult services. They attempted to provide spaces dedicated to young adult services. Because of short of domestic studies on young adult services and relevant topics, planning for a space for the young adults was difficult. The author collected and studied cases of YA space, research results from the western literature, combined with experience of site visits, discussed and made suggestions on pre-planning operations and important items to consider during the planning stage.
