For children, reading is an important way to understand the world. Children's reading ability is closely related to their future learning ability. Therefore, in the wave of education reform that has risen around the world in recent years, children's reading has been implemented as an important education policy.
However, if reading is regarded as a part of the homework that has to be finished, it will undoubtedly become a burden on children, and they will also feel resistance in their hearts, which is not conducive to cultivating children's interest in reading. In the Internet era full of temptations everywhere, how to let children put down games and TV and take the initiative to walk into libraries to read? Maybe creating a comfortable, interesting and free reading space is enough!
Brentwood Public Library is a community public library located in Tennessee, the United States. The children's area here is very visually striking, creating a fairy tale world for children. The entrance of the children's area is decorated with stacks of books. A huge story tree stands beside the entrance, and an electronic owl will say hello to the children who enter the children's area.
The wall of the children's area is painted with the forest from fairy tales, and children's bookshelves are hidden under the trees. The seats are also designed in the shape of books. Children sit on the book-shaped seats and read with little rabbit figurines, immersing themselves in fairy tales.
This library also provides many interesting activities for children. There is Lego time every month, reading activities in summer, and there are also occasional puppet shows, magic shows, music performances, small animal shows and so on, making reading no longer boring.
