February is National Library Lovers Month. So show your school library or public library some love this month with some must-have library furniture that will make any library lover swoon! Whether furnishing a school library, a public library, or another similar space, you will need plenty of furniture, equipment, and supplies. From storage for books to furniture library patrons can sit on, there are many items to include on your list.
Bookcases and Library Carts You'll Love
The first place to begin shopping for library furniture is with the humble bookcase. There are plenty of book shelf choices from Worthington Direct. Choose from large units that can connect to easily take up an entire wall to smaller bookcases you can place throughout the space or even put in classrooms. For books you want to highlight, consider book displays.
We also have some unique options from Whitney Brothers, perfect for giving students a quiet, private spot to read. Of course, you will also need library book carts and trucks to move books around with ease. Don’t forget about magazine racks as well.
Check-out this Furniture that Every Librarian Needs
The book carts aren’t the only school library furniture that the librarians need. Display library special events and announcements on enclosed bulletin boards.
Greet library guests with a spacious circulation desk with plenty of storage from Paragon. Don't forget comfortable chairs and stools for librarians to use when they need to have a seat.
Patrons Can Read Their Hearts Out at these Tables and Chairs
Of course, no school library is complete without seating for your patrons. Choose from a wide variety of tables and chairs, to accommodate all library activities. There are chairs designed for adults and children. Tables with dry erase markerboard tops are perfect for collaborations and group projects.
For older students or public libraries, don’t forget about study carrels for independent studying spaces without distractions. Every library should also have flexible soft seating, such as bean bag chairs or lounge seating.
Young readers will love checking out their new favorite book on a carpet made just for your library space. Constructed to withstand high-traffic everyday use, a quality library carpet is perfect for pulling a common space together, situating under a table for book signings, or for circle time during pre-school reading events.
This February, Celebrate Library Lovers' Month by visiting your local library. And if you need help finding the perfect library furniture, contact Worthington Direct.
