Research on the Child-oriented Design for Community Libraries

摘要

Based on the reading behavior and reading psychology of children as well as the varying preferences among different ages,and with some references to the cases and the status quo of public libraries in China and the United States,a community library has been designed in this article.For the appearance,animal shapes are widely used in the design.The space is divided into different zones for different age groups.Dynamic zones are the main part of the design,which makes the space more open for communication and activities,in order to meet different needs and create a community library that really serves children.With an environment like this,the atmosphere will thus be enhanced for children’s independent reading.
