Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.
-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

In Inspiring Spaces for Young Children, the authors provide these ideas for "authenticating the library area":

"Reflect intimacy and warmth in the children's library area with items that might be found in an adult's living room. By incorporating a rug, coffee table, pillows, plants, bookrack, and soft lighting the space feels serene. The layered textures create depth and invite children to come in, get cozy, and enjoy a book....

"To make the space more inviting, add authentic pieces such as a gas fireplace and bookshelves. These items are similar in cost to children's furniture, but provide a welcome and unexpected twist in an early childhood program."
