As the main place for students to acquire knowledge, the school library’s furniture selection is crucial to the efficiency and comfort of the library. Choosing appropriate bookshelves, reading tables and display cabinets can effectively utilize space, improve reading efficiency, and create a quiet and comfortable learning environment.
First of all, the selection of library bookshelves should take into account the storage needs of books and the reasonable layout of space. The height and width of the bookshelf should be determined according to the actual space of the library to avoid taking up too much space. Metal bookshelves are generally more durable and easier to clean, while wooden bookshelves have a warm, natural feel. When choosing, consider the number of layers of the bookshelf and the load-bearing capacity of each layer to ensure that it can carry a large number of books.
Secondly, the selection of reading tables and chairs should focus on comfort and functionality. The reading table should be one with sufficient space and a flat surface. The table should avoid too many decorations or design elements to avoid distracting students' attention. The design of the chair should be ergonomic, able to support students' sitting posture when reading for long periods of time, and prevent poor sitting posture from affecting their health.
The choice of display cabinets should take into account the display function and space utilization. Display cabinets should have sufficient levels and reasonable lighting design to ensure that the displayed books or materials are clearly visible. Display cabinets made of transparent materials can not only display book contents, but also maintain a sense of transparency in the space.
Generally speaking, the selection of school library furniture should focus on reasonable space planning and comfortable use experience, ensuring that each area can maximize its function.
