• 1.) A little bit of space – Kids love tiny spaces, so a large amount of room is not necessary. A bedroom corner, window seat, closet, teepee, or under the stairs are fun places to stage their reading space.

  • • 2.) A Seat that is "Just Right" – A comfortable place to sit is a must for any little library. Check out our heirloom style Personalized Spindle Rocking Chair or Personalized Puzzle Rocker. Our Personalized Toy Box Bench is a favorite as it provides a place for both child and adult to sit, as well as a place to store books and toys. A Cushion or Pouf is another option for soft low seating..

• 3.) Good Lighting – Light is very important whether it be natural light by a window or a from a great lamp – We prefer both as reading after dark and before bed is a wonderful habit to establish and there is nothing better than fun shadows casts from a window throughout the day. Overhead, lamps that can safely be turned off and on by the child and positioned as needed are best. Hanging fairy lights can also add a bit of sparkle and fun.

  • • 4.) Book Storage –Our best-selling Personalized Book Caddy is the ideal book bin. This handy bin holds even oversized books. It displays the books facing outward, so kids are enticed by their colorful covers. Our Personalized Book Rack holds a large amount of books also front facing. Wall mounted shelves hung low are a great option. Or bookshelves free standing or built in. Our Personalized Book Ends can support a large number of books of any size on a bookshelf or surface.

• 5.) Inviting Decor – rBright decorative elements will draw little ones in and make the space their own. A plush rug can be a soft additional place to curl up with a book as well as give the space bounderies. Wall decor is a perfect way to customize the space. Our Wall Plaques to can be customized in a variety of ways. Along with the child's name you can put a favorite inspiration or book quote. Throw Pillows (especially our Personalized Pillowcases) give addition "coz".

• 6.) Book Buddies – When Mom and Dad are busy, a puppet or plush animal makes the perfect reading companion. Arranging your child's favorite plushies on the floor of this reading corner will make this special space even more inviting.
•  
• 7.) BOOKS! - The nucleus of any child's library are the BOOKS! This collection can come from collected gifts, yard sales or the local library. The bright covers of children's book should be facing out and at their eye level or lower to attract little ones. Books can even be stood up on their end on the floor. A weekly trip to the library or bookmobile is a great way to keep the inventory fresh and your child engaged.
