Lesehjørner

A Lesehjørne, meaning "reading corner" in Danish, is a designated space designed to encourage reading and foster a love of literature. These spaces are commonly found in public libraries, schools, and sometimes even in workplaces or community centers. The primary goal of a Lesehjørne is to create a comfortable and inviting environment where individuals can relax and engage with books.

These corners typically feature soft seating such as armchairs, sofas, or beanbags, along with good lighting to facilitate reading. Shelves or display units showcasing a variety of books, magazines, and other reading materials are an integral part of a Lesehjørne. The atmosphere is usually quiet and peaceful, minimizing distractions to allow for focused reading.

Lesehjørner can vary in size and design, from small, intimate nooks to larger, more elaborate areas. They often incorporate elements that enhance the reading experience, such as small tables for placing drinks or personal items, and sometimes even plants or artwork to create a pleasant ambiance. The availability of diverse reading materials, catering to different ages and interests, is crucial for the success of any Lesehjørne. They serve as valuable community resources, promoting literacy and providing a tranquil retreat for readers.
