This research introduces personalized recommendation service into library services. Using the borrowing record of the library as basis, the association rules of data mining technique are used to look for book association by focusing on reader's borrowing mode, personal interest and trait in order to simplify the complexity of recommendation structure. The Bayesian network concept is used to build up a personalized book recommender system in order to generate different book recommendations, ranking from high to low, to help reader to locate book information most suitable to his requirement. Meanwhile we use user satisfaction questionnaire to understand the accuracy of recommended books and further to feedback information in order to help the post learning of Bayesian network parameter. This is for the perfection of the overall structure of recommender system so that readers could make use of the resource of the library more effectively and the value of the library system could be further improved.
