WF Education worked with librarians and educators to design corner modules specifically intended to engage teenagers to read for pleasure and improve literacy, by giving them immediate access to materials and somewhere comfortable to read – whilst giving custodians choice and speed of selection and installation.
The display and browser elements of the designs encourage teenagers to explore new titles and genres, placing books ‘face-up’ in front of them to draw attention. These options are combined with traditional flat shelves to increase book storage capacity.
Our choices of cosy or open dens and comfortable seating instantly attract young people to linger and read.
Some of our modules include eye-catching, age-appropriate graphics to further designate the space, clearly defining the purpose of the zone.
