The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions of public librarians about the professional certification of librarians in public libraries, and to explore the importance of the professional competencies and librarians’ capabilities. A questionnaire survey was distributed to in-service library employees of domestic public and private public libraries. Overall 441 completed surveys were received. The results of the survey indicate that 1) public librarians understand that professional competencies are important in their workplace, and there is a significant difference in the degree of academic qualifications and subject background of librarians. 2) Most librarians have a high degree of willingness to participate in professional certification, and have a positive attitude towards the professional certification system. According to the results of the study, this study proposes two suggestions: 1) the public library should implement the personnel training and incentive mechanism; 2) professional certification of librarians in public libraries should be planned and implemented as soon as possible.
