„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?
