]]> 2017-06-22 06:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/suriyakira/vdrh7jtoowil/wish/177169893 Rationale: "Academic libraries have progressed from being storage spaces for information with reading tables to becoming places which must embody new pedagogies, including collaborative and interactive learning modalities." [Freeman, (2005) as cited in Pin Pin, (2008)] suriyakira https://padlet.com/suriyakira/vdrh7jtoowil/wish/177170653  
The design of the library spaces must consist of the following aspects:
1. How customers move through the library (Customer Flow)
2. Wow factor (The visual experience of the library must impress the students)
3. Capacity (the layout of the library must offer opportunities for various activities)
4. Creative Zoning (Different areas for different age groups)
5. Collection layout and display (How the display of the books attract the readers)
6. Integrating IT (How the use of digital resources can make a library even more interesting)

The above-mentioned ideas were taken from the following website:

Some of our members embarked on a trip to Pasir Ris Library to learn from its staff on the strategies adopted by them to stimulate students' interest in reading. These were some of the learning points gathered:

1. The layout of the library should allow students to move around freely and easily see the book covers, which could arouse their interest in learning.

2. The use of spaces for discussions centered around books and private studying.

3. The kind of activities that libraries can organize to facilitate interest in reading.

4. The use of technology to display book related information in an interactive manner.
