Practical ideas - Reading environment

Reading EnvironmentThe library should be centrally located and a designated (single-use) space. Obviously, this is not always possible, but many of the best libraries can be created through the imaginative use of stock rooms, corridors and redundant classrooms. If your library is not a central space, a little bit of creativity and vision can go a very long way. Above all, the library should be exciting and feel different from the classroom.

This resource gives practical ideas for your library to give it a fun new feel.  Some things it includes are ideas for comfortable reading spaces, parents in the library, boy and girl zones, and more.
