By investigating and analyzing 14 libraries, of which 9 are in Mie and 5 are in Gifu, this paper discusses the structure of selective behaviors and consciousness of users of libraries, based on planning of libraries in regional areas. We summarize the conclusions as follows : ・It is worthy to note that in regional area, users consider libraries as a place not only to borrow books, but also to conduct continuing education activities such as reading, research or studying something. ・The users' selective behaviors are not entirely concerned with the collection of books, but also influenced by the space and location of libraries. These factors must be considered in planning facilities for continuing education. ・Expectation for a certain library differs from each user and maybe influenced by the functions of neighboring libraries.
