Reading exposes students to a whole new world beyond their local environment. It broadens horizons, introduces possibilities and inspires change. In short, reading can change lives. Libraries are known centres for accessing the written word. Whether supporting a devoted bibliophile or wanting to entice a reluctant reader, creating an engaging reading hub is essential. Here are some fundamental components that will help make a hub your students will cherish. AGREEABLE ACOUSTICS The acoustic profile of a space can have considerable impact on users.

Entice readers with a variety of book displays including forward facing, book box and traditional spine out shelving. Close proximity of shelving to comfortable seating is also essential so students can enjoy their find. Support budding book lovers by creating a reading hub that has a variety of comfortable places to read, sit or think. Comfortable seating will allow students to fully immerse themselves in reading. Offer a range of inviting seating options such as floor mats, ottomans, lounges and insular booths. Libraries are often safe havens for students to get lost in the adventure of words.
