Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] How such public culture service institutions as libraries create a better digital culture environment for children in poor rural areas under the background of digital villages is worth our attention. [Method/Process] The Internet usage behavior and needs and expectations for library services of left-behind children were examined through mixed methods of questionnaire, focus group interviews and one-on-one interviews on the middle school students, teachers and parents in Longshan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. [Results/Conclusions] It was found that rural children preferred to use the Internet for entertainment when they were online. Internet use behavior had little to do with left-behind experience, but was significantly related to gender, education of guardians, and surrounding culture environment. The poor rural region is seriously lack of a good digital cultural environment and social support systems for teenagers. Public cultural institutions, such as school libraries and public libraries should improve their functions and services, especially digital culture services according to the needs and behavioral characteristics of teenagers.
