Adolescent-friendly library

„Adolescent-friendly library”

In today’s world more and more people don’t go to the library to read and broaden their mind. Mainly young people don’t like attending a library. There are many elements which have an impact on this situation. For example, everyone has a mobile phone and prefers playing games to reading books. I think we can change it and make libraries more encouraging.

First of all, decoration inside the library must be modern and painted with vivid colours. It is very crucial, because young people like to be trendy and have their own style.

Next, in every library there should be a computer workstation and a wireless network available for everyone. It can make more adolescents work on computers looking for information for their homework.

I also think that a library should have a special zone for people who want to listen to music reading books at the same time. Some people, especially teenagers, enjoy learning while listening to music.

Next important thing is to enable young people to watch their favourite books on the screen in the form of a book adaptation. With great pleasure they will watch “Lord of the Rings” or “Hobbit” and compare the book with the movie.

Last but not least, everyone who belongs to a library club could get their own tablet with readings to read. It is an expensive solution but to my mind it is useful for everyone since technology is an inseparable part of our lives.

Summing up, in my humble opinion abovementioned suggestions could be implemented. Do you have any ideas to make libraries adolescent-friendly?
