Employing the descriptive analysis technique, a qualitative research method, the study engaged a participant group of 25 mothers whose children are enrolled in preschool education institutions in Rize province during the 2023-2024 academic year. The sample was selected using the easily accessible sampling method. Researchers utilized the "Mothers’ Opinions on Children’s Libraries Interview Form" as the primary data collection instrument. Subsequently, data gathered from the interview form underwent analysis employing the descriptive analysis technique. Thirteen of the mothers (52%) stated that they never visited children's libraries, while twelve (48%) indicated that they did. Mothers emphasize that children's libraries should be interesting (23.53%) and colorful (23.53%). As a result of the research, half of the mothers have never been to children’s libraries, mothers attach most importance to the design of children’s libraries, that the library attracts children's attention and is colorful, they perceive themselves as competent in spending time with children in the children’s library, they want game activities to be organized in children’s libraries, they want children’s books and children’s libraries to be colorful. It has been determined that they obtain up-to-date information about children's libraries from Instagram and that mothers want events for children to be organized as their expectations from children’s libraries.
