[Purpose/significance] This study aims to analyze the evolutionary game dynamics governing the dynamic development of public reading spaces, clarify the construction mechanisms and strategies for such spaces, and promote the high-quality development of public reading space. [Method/process] Grounded in evolutionary game theory and a dynamic development perspective, this study incorporates stochastic processes and time delay factors, simulates inter⁃actions among key stakeholders (government, multiple construction subjects, and readers), constructs a tripartite evolu⁃tionary game model, and analyzes the dynamic development mode of the public reading space. [Result/conclusion] The evolutionary game model identifies five distinct dynamic development models within public reading spaces. En⁃hancing the long-term value-added benefits of readers′ capabilities does not significantly alter the entire game system.However, increasing benchmark benefits or simultaneously enhancing short-term and long-term reader benefits facili⁃tates the system′s evolution toward a high-quality construction and connotative management model (the ideal model).Reducing variable costs for multiple construction subjects, increasing reputation dissemination benefits, and deepen⁃ing resource inclination all enable the system to evolve into the ideal model. Increasing penalties for low-quality con⁃struction or boosting industrial quality development benefits, either individually or in combination, can reverse the sys⁃tem toward the ideal model. Additionally, the integration level of public cultural service supply technology positively in⁃fluences the rate of positive evolution by accelerating benefit accumulation and dissemination.
