Welcome to our Teen Reading zones!
Engaging teens to read for pleasure...
Teenagers want a library that is welcoming, accessible, and responsive to their needs and interests. By providing a range of resources, programmes, and services that cater to their needs, libraries can help to support and empower. Everna™ was created with all of this in mind, so you can provide your teens with their own supportive library space!
We recommend having a dedicated space for your teenagers so they can get the best out of your library. Create a welcoming and safe environment for teens to explore their interests, study, and socialise. A dedicated space for teenagers can also provide them with a sense of autonomy and independence, allowing them to feel more comfortable in the library and potentially encouraging them to use the service more frequently.
Offer a balance between book presentation and cosy seating nooks to curl up in, where teenagers are tempted to stay and immerse themselves in a book, magazine or graphic novel. Our integrated dens are designed to draw teenagers into the space. Add other elements of loose seating such as bean bags or cushions.
Optimise engagement and stimulate browsing by increasing the number of display options. It focuses on providing immediate access to teens favourite literature and allows you to highlight authors and genres by showcasing the covers of books on sloped display shelves.
Your feedback highlighted the difficulty in appealing to different audiences within your library space. Teenagers preferred visting the library when they were given a dedicated corner, where they can feel autonomous. If teenagers feel welcome and comfortable, they will stay longer and return more often.
