Ah the popular bean bag. So simple yet so crucial for creating cosy nooks to curl up with a book. It remains a key element in creating spaces dedicated to teenagers. Their enveloping shape has always been popular with younger children, but it is also popular with older children. They use beanbags to settle down and “read” on the spot, with the seats informal nature encouraging them to lounge and get comfortable. We know that if teenagers are comfortable, they will stay and read longer. Beanbags are also a useful and economic way to add a splash of colour to your library space.
