國內傳統寺廟附設圖書館，從事文化志業者並不多見，能夠在台灣首善之區(台北市)，設立佔地3,000坪，新書與一流書局同步；經營媲美國家圖書館的「行天宮附設玄空圖書館」，更是鳳毛麟角。身為非營利事業管理之研究者，當然樂見其經營有成，在敬佩之餘，對玄空圖書館之組織運作、經營績效及服務成果，產生莫大的興趣。爰以「傳統寺廟經營文化志業之研究」為題，以「財團法人台北市行天宮附設玄空圖書館」為例，來進行本論文之構思與寫作。 本研究係針對本文之研究目的與問題，採取質化研究法(田園調查、深度訪談與問卷調查)，經由個案描述，將研究結果加以歸納分析，獲得以下幾點結論： 一、 佛教較注重教育文化的傳承與推動；道教寺廟則以舉辦盛大廟會為主。二、 行天宮經營玄空圖書館，推動文化志業，將有助於其社會形象之提升。三、 以管理情境理論分析，具傳統寺廟背景之玄空圖館在經營上是較具優勢的。四、 玄空圖書館，實至名歸，已成為好的非營利組織。 Only a few of traditional temples have subsidiary libraries to deal with cultural philanthropies.
