Reading on June 1st: A Library Designed for Children

Library is one of the types of buildings that truly serve people, and it is a place where people learn, communicate, share and get inspiration. Libraries enable people to experience new things and inspire us to innovate constantly. We believe that if we can encourage and promote children to read in the library, it will have a positive impact on society. Here, children are the protagonists of space. As Einstein once said: "If you want your child to be smart, please read him fairy tales;" If you want to make your child smarter, please read him more fairy tales. "Therefore, in the process of designing children's reading area, we pay special attention to children's experience and make the building suitable for the development of each child.

Library is one of the few architectural types devoted to human development, and it is a place for learning, gathering, sharing and getting inspiration. Libraries enable our society to experience new things, blend in with the world around us, and encourage us to innovate. We believe that libraries can encourage and promote children's reading, which will have a positive impact on society. Albert Einstein once said, "If you want children to be smart, read them fairy tales. If you want to be smarter, read them more fairy tales. " We design the library so that children can enjoy and understand the world, and the building itself can contribute to the development of each child.
