Abstract

A library is a crucial place for children to learn. However, different environmental designs have differing effects on users. We used the Taipei Public Library (Main Library) as case to explore the environments of different reading areas and parent-child user behavior. Field survey and focus group methods were used to observe and analyze factors influencing parent-child interaction. The research results indicated that the table shape affected parent-child interaction. For example, a table in a shape of flower enabled the parent and child to work individually, whereas a round table improved parent-child interaction. Children tended to sit or stand by the bookshelf for reading. Comfortable and undisturbed reading space is the primary factor in seat selection by the users. Secondary factors included the dimensions of the table and chair set, style of the table and chairs, and illumination.
