description Purpose: In this research, we want to know whether elements such as interior design, coloration of input spaces, circulation, study hall and the reference section are satisfactory in the view of public library users of Yazd city (Iran) or not and to survey levels of satisfaction. Methodology: This is a survey research project that uses a researcher-made questionnaire. The research population includes 24371 users from the 26 public libraries in Yazd city (Iran). The sample size is calculated using the Krejcie & Morgan sample size table and a total of 384 questionnaires were filled by users. Findings: Users viewpoints gathered based on four benchmarks (input spaces, circulation, study hall, and the reference section). Users satisfaction with circulation and the reference section was in high level while the study hall and the input space were not satisfactory. Besides, results showed that the majority of users prefer white to cream color for the main spaces, cream to brick red for the tables and brown for the chairs. Originality/Value: We tried to show the satisfaction level of users with selected benchmarks and their color preferences about library sections and equipments.
