Kids friendly Bookstore
Posted Saturday, June 30, 2007 at 09:52AM
In Beijing they have the Kids Republic Bookstore which has incorporated playground design elements, like slide inspired book shelves, padded L shaped reading stools and ‘snake-like’ fittings that provide colored reading light. The breaking away from traditional library settings like: ordinary chairs and tables, plain lighting fixtures and the normal book shelves, ensures that kids can enjoy reading as a hobby instead of looking at it as a chore. I hope they also have the place omitting ‘candy odor,’ to replace that ‘book odor’ found in libraries
