As a result, first, this study revealed that public librarians had little knowledge of the <em>UN SDGs</em> <em>2030</em> agenda or the fact that <em>IFLA</em> has proposed support strategies for the <em>UN´s</em> <em>SDGs</em>. Second, this study found a high level of agreement among librarians with <em>IFLA</em>´s support strategies set for libraries to achieve the <em>UN SDGs</em> . Reflecting the two results above, it can be understood that librarians, though they were not well aware of the agenda of the <em>UN SDGs</em> <em>2030</em> or the library´s support strategies set by <em>IFLA</em> for the agenda, highly agree that the library´s support strategies suggested by <em>IFLA</em> are the role of libraries. Therefore, widely promoting the library´s support strategies proposed by <em>IFLA</em> for the <em>UN</em> <em>SDGs</em> <em>2030</em> is highly likely to encourage many librarians to participate actively.</p> ER -
