lesanleg

Lesanleg is a Norwegian noun that refers to a facility, system, or installation that enables or supports reading. The term is relatively specialized and can appear in discussions about libraries, education, accessibility, or research infrastructure. In everyday language, more common expressions for concrete spaces or tools include lesesal (reading room) and lesehjelpemidler (reading aids); lesanlegg is used when the emphasis is on the functionality that makes reading possible, rather than a specific room or device.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is formed from lese, meaning to read, and anlegg, meaning facility, installation, or setup. This combination signals a broader concept than a single object, encompassing both physical environments and technical systems designed to support reading activities.

Contexts and examples: lesanlegg can refer to various setups that facilitate reading. This may include quiet or specialized rooms within libraries or schools designed for comfortable or assisted reading, as well as technological infrastructures such as software platforms, hardware, or services that enable access to printed or digital text. In inclusive design and accessibility planning, the term may be used to describe resources that ensure readers with different needs can access information.
