Children not only have the opportunity to climb and read on these bookshelves, they also can move these bookshelves around the vast carpeted area. “Climb” was designed to promote activity and to keep the kids engaged while reading. “Climb” has 7 variations with different widths and heights to create variety while kids explore the Children’s Section. It is fully carpeted so that kids can enjoy climbing on a soft surface. Each variation of “Climb” is in a different color to invite kids into a colorful, but not overwhelming space that is playful and fun, just like kids themselves.

LEARN
ADULT SECTION Books are an investment. They will always have a place in society. With technology on the rise, the journey the user takes to find the perfect book is a lost art. The Adult Section celebrates this journey by creating a modern atmosphere that emphasizes the book in its true form, using the book as the main focus.
14
ADULT SECTION Wood flooring, concrete walls, partial concrete and gypsum ceilings, and white bookshelves are used to create this modern look for the Adult Section. These materials work well together to create a modern space that does not distract from the design focus, the book itself.
