Original decoration for a library or literature cabinet with your own hands. What should be the design of a school library?

Registration of the fund

Open access is the face of every library, and it is created primarily for readers. How it is organized and designed determines how readers will perceive it, whether they will feel comfortable here, and whether they will be able to freely navigate it themselves to find the necessary literature.

The main principles of fund design: taking into account the age characteristics of readers; finding your own design style; choosing a topic, a mascot hero (library, department); artistic solution(font, color); development of themes, colors, symbols in the design of shelf dividers; a clear reflection of the close relationship between the library and the reader; accounting individual characteristics libraries (collection volume, area, etc.); changing the structure of the shelving arrangement (where possible). How did the idea of ​​transforming the open collection come to fruition in each children's library branch?

The team of the Zaitsev Central Children's Children's Hospital (service manager I. Paimysheva) updated two subscriptions and a reading room. Employees of each department came up with an emblem, symbols, and chose colors. Thus, the subscription, serving preschoolers and students in grades 1-3 and 4-5, is designed in a space style and called “The Third Planet.” (The design is based on the book “The Secret of the Third Planet” by Kir Bulychev.) The symbol of the department was Gromozeka (one of the heroes of the book) - kind, sympathetic, inquisitive. Literature signs are made in the form of flying saucers. Their color fully matches the color of the shelf dividers: blue and green for scientific literature, red and yellow for fiction.

The bookcase with literature for 2nd and 3rd grade students was called “To you, pioneers!” Unconventional names were given to the shelf dividers: scientific and educational literature - “Lyuboznaykam” (about the world around us), “There is a Russian side” (history), “Igronauts” (games, crosswords, homemade products); fiction - “Fairy tales gathered together”, “Land of unread books”, “Poetic rainbow”, etc.

Students in grades 4-5 are offered books on a shelf with the title “For you, old-timers!” Thematic dividers received the following names: scientific and educational literature - “From Time Immemorial”, “Teaching is not Torment”, “About Our Lesser Brothers”; fiction - “Your Golden Shelf”, “About Boys and Girls”, “Miracles and Mysteries”.

On a separate shelf there is an exhibition “Treasures of the Starry Sky”, which demonstrates the library’s care for its readers. Its sections: "The Most Reading Astronauts" - a shelf exhibition of the reader's form; “Masters of the Universe” - presents literature about celebratory writers and their works; "Help" - a shelf exhibition of recommendatory bibliography: recommendation lists, bookmarks, advertisements for books and magazines, as well as thematic card indexes; “The Charm of Old Editions” is a shelf exhibition of undeservedly forgotten books.

When creating open access, librarians did not forget about debtors. A poster was posted that said, "Galactic Patrol Inspectorate is looking for them." It presents a list of those who did not submit literature to the library on time. The unconventional name and bright design attract the attention of readers, including the penal prisoners themselves.

It should also be said about the bibliography corner, made in red tones. The symbol of Gromozek's department, present in this corner, shows children that with the help of a systematic and illustrated catalog they can choose a book. This cheerful, bright little man also reminds children of the deadline for returning the book. It is written on a poster located at the librarian's lectern.

The subscription, serving students in grades 6-9, is decorated in a nautical style. And they gave it a romantic, one might say, adventure name - “Columbus”. Attributes of open access included a globe, a card index for teenagers to help the school program “A Light in the Ocean,” and a bibliographic game “Wind of Wanderings.”

Open access literature is located on three shelves under the following titles: “The Lonely Sail Whitens” - classic fiction (shelf dividers and bookmarks are made in blue and white); “Meeting in the wardroom” - recommended bibliography and forms for the most active readers; "Roads of a Desert Island" - scientific and educational literature. (Shelf dividers and header are green and yellow.)

The reading room deserves special attention. Choosing a topic that would reflect his work, the librarians settled on detective genre, since in the reading room there is a daily painstaking search for information, inquiries are being carried out in response to complex, sometimes confusing requests from readers, no less secret and incomprehensible than the plot in an exciting detective story.

The emblem was an open book and mysterious, inquisitive, mysterious and inquisitive drawn eyes that everyone wants to know. The emblem is designed in black, blue and red colors. The same colors were used for the design of the bibliographic search game “Experts are on the trail.” The game is located in bookcases, where thematic folders and collections of local history are presented, reflecting the main direction of the library's work - local history.

The colorful poster invites readers to answer three groups of questions: o memorable places Nizhny Novgorod and regions; about historical places Sormovsky district; anniversary dates related to the lives of famous Nizhny Novgorod residents. The one who answers all the questions receives the title of True Nizhny Novgorod. The goal of the game is to attract the attention of readers to the local history fund and teach them to independently search for information.

With great imagination and invention we approached decoration open access in the Brinsky library (branch head N. Potapova).

Three open access shelving units are combined into a large “House of Pochitayki”. The owner of the house is the little man Pochitayka, who is the symbol of the library; he presents readers with the best books, new magazines, indicates the return period, etc. In this house, the shelves are the entrances, the bookshelves are the floors, the shelf dividers are the keys, and the reader's address for literature on each rack it is indicated on the locks of the house: 2-3 cells, 4-5 cells, 6-9 cells. Keys and locks for each age are made in a certain color: red, yellow, green. And to make it more convenient for children to navigate in the public domain, a “traffic light” system has been developed and is presented in the form of a traffic light man.

In keeping with the open access of the Brinsky Library, the design of open access at the children's department of the M. Lomonosov Library (branch head N. Mashkina). Here, open access is provided for children readers by an entire “Read Street”, where each shelf is a house with a specific number: 1/3 4/6, 7/9 (the number indicates the age of the readers to whom the books are addressed). The inhabitants of these houses are books and literary heroes: Carlson, Matroskin the cat, Thumbelina and others, and each is located behind its own shelf divider. Shelf dividers are made in the form of house windows. There are many such windows, which allows you to fully reveal the fund. The color scheme of the house racks is also successful. Three houses - three colors: lemon, pink and white. Thanks to color and numbering, readers can immediately find their “home” on the fabulous “Read Street”. The open access design features of this library are simplicity, clarity and accessibility for child readers.

The open access of the library named after A. Matrosov (branch manager L. Slastnikova) was originally designed. Very limited area The subscription provides open access for readers of all ages. It is located in such a way that children do not interfere with each other in choosing literature.

For preschoolers there is a corner “How to be able to read well.” Colored symbols on book-brochures (yellow and red triangles) help not to confuse the books and help you figure out what kind of literature it is - fiction (poems, stories, fairy tales) or scientific-educational (about animals, plants, technology).

For middle-aged readers, literature is collected under the heading "Treasure Island". The guide to this “island” is made in the form of a map located on an open book. The map shows books according to the most different topics: "Castle of Miracles" - adventures; "Spring of Poetry" - poems; "Peak of Victory" is about war; "Volcano of History" - historical literature; "The Naturalist's Path" is about the natural world.

Exactly the same symbols are placed on the boxes where the books are located, and on the books themselves. This allows children to quickly find the literature they are interested in, and librarians to quickly organize the collection. The symbol of open access for middle-aged readers has become Captain Flint, who invites those who wish to visit “Treasure Island.”

Open access for students in grades 7-8 is located on a shelf under the heading “Reading Circle”. Here, each thematic divider has its own color. And books standing behind a separator of a certain color have a strip on the spine of the same color as the shelf divider itself (for example, the separator “In the World of Fantasy” is made purple, and the books in this section have a purple stripe on the spine, etc.). This solution helps in choosing the necessary literature and, of course, facilitates the arrangement of the collection.

In the children's department of the Leninsky Komsomol Library (headed by N. Golomidova), the open access fund is one of the largest among children's libraries in the region. It is located on six shelves. Librarians have thought out the name and color of each section for readers of different age groups.

Thus, for students in grades 1-3, there is a shelf with literature decorated in yellow tones, called “Romashkovo”. Its symbol is a cartoon train, which in poetic form invites readers to get acquainted with the books.

Students in grades 4-6 find themselves in the “Fairytale Castle”, which is made in red and brown tones, where they are greeted by Queen Book. She is a symbol of the fund's division. And from the appeal poem you can learn about what kind of literature is presented here and for whom.

The open access section “The Sea of ​​Books” appears in blue tones for readers in grades 7-9. A ship flying in full sail represents the desire of teenagers for knowledge, discovery, and travel. On a scroll of blue color children can read a poem wishing them good luck in sailing the sea of ​​books.

This solution for designing open access shelves helps visitors quickly and easily navigate the collection and find the necessary literature.

The team of the Kassil Library (headed by L. Fedotova) began working with open access by changing the location of the shelves. They were placed at a considerable distance from each other, which eliminated the illusion of a solid object and drew attention to a separate rack. Each bookcase with literature is addressed to readers of a certain age: younger, middle, older. The "Preschooler's Corner" is also highlighted. Finding the right book is made easier by various color scheme shelf dividers for each literature department.

A voluminous multi-colored polyhedron, suspended on a thread between the shelves, attracts the attention of readers. This “toy” can be twisted and determined which theme corresponds to a certain color of shelf dividers and signs on the book. For example: green - ecology, red - history, yellow - fiction, etc.

To summarize, it must be said that each team showed ingenuity, professional skill, creativity, and individuality. Thanks to this, open access in every library has become more vibrant, attractive, updated, unique and more accessible to young readers.




Main tasks: The main tasks, the solution of which will allow organizing the effective functioning of the library-media library, are: - formation of a full-fledged media fund and fund on traditional paper media: collection, accumulation, processing and systematization of information, computer cataloging and processing of information resources; -creation of infrastructure to provide schools with new information media; - ensuring accessibility to various information resources; -providing the necessary information to all library readers: students, parents, teachers and other school employees; -providing free access to Internet resources for training and self-education.




Preparatory stage: 1.Study public opinion: a) develop the text of the questionnaire (appendix); b) interview 1.1 Collection of primary information: a) answers to interview questions; b) completed application forms; c) sketches of the library interior: d) research notes 2. Study of the intended problem: 2.1. determine the search circle (scheme); 2.2. understanding the information received; 2.3. creating a dictionary of unfamiliar terms. 3. Information processing: 3.1. selecting the type of presentation of results: report, table, etc. manually; 3.3. on the computer.


Design is an idea, a little fantastic and unusual, so that artistically designed library interior items evoke in the reader a feeling of satisfaction, work excitement, and joy from visiting the library. Design is grace and beauty, convenience and comfort.






In order to consider the problem comprehensively, it is necessary to distinguish several zones in the library: zone 1: “Librarian’s place”, zone 2: “Computer zone”, zone 3: “Place for light reading”, zone 4: “Theater”, zone 5: “Reading room” zone 6: “Reference and bibliographic apparatus of the library” zone 7: “Mini printing house” school library»



Zone 1: “The Librarian’s Place” The librarian’s area should be comfortable, modest, and at the same time, everything for the librarian’s work should be at hand: a computer with databases, an electronic catalog, communication with the computer area. The corner is located so that it is convenient to control all zones. There should be a shelf with teaching materials nearby. I think it’s nice for a librarian to have a modern desk with an unusual, non-standard shape.






With the rapid development of New Information Technologies, especially telecommunications, media libraries should also become technology centers. A new stage in their development will come with the advent of an automated library catalog and computer stations for working with CD-ROMs. Automated library systems should be partially or fully installed in all school media libraries. Open network access to catalogs of other libraries, online databases, e-mail. It is recommended that schoolchildren have only limited access to Internet resources. For this purpose, a “Computer Zone” has been created. We have developed a multifunctional computer desk with convenient shelves for both books and CDs. This table is also comfortable when working on the Internet. Several people can work at the table at the same time, since it provides from 3 to 4 workstations. If you do not know the rules for using a computer or how to work with the Internet, then there are booklets with such rules at the top. Zone 2: "Computer Zone"




Metal cabinet for compact storage of multimedia media for 2860 storage units. The cabinet is a full-size vertical storage module (rack). The cabinet has thirteen drawers on full extension roller guides and a central lock for two swing doors. Each of the 13 trays is divided by five metal dividers into 6 compartments along the depth of the cabinet. Cabinet capacity CD (compact disc) or 5720 slim CD 1 tray CD or 440 slim CD Overall dimensions - mm. 914х457х1987Н Additional accessories - removable pull-out shelf for ease of working with funds in the storage room












Zone 5: “Reading room” They try to make frequently used items, for example, furniture for the reading room, soothing in shape and color so that they do not get boring and absorb excessive attention. By this, designers want to emphasize that furniture should be an assistant to the reader, be unobtrusive, calm, objective in tone, on which the reader’s varied activities unfold. The shape of the table should be simple. The coloring should not be variegated, so as not to tire the reader’s eye. Tables are painted in gray-blue, light brown and light green colors. Main criterion designer product- benefit. A designer product should not only be beautiful and have visual appeal, but its main purpose should be to bring benefits, then it will become pleasant, convenient, safe, light, and does not require additional spiritual and physical strength of a person.













Zone 7: “Mini printing house of the school library” A modern library-media library must have equipment not only for searching and viewing all kinds of materials, but also for creating them. Therefore, it is necessary to create an area where there will be a mini printing house and collect all the equipment here: a risograph, sound and video recording equipment. Using this technology, students and teachers will be able to independently print up to 130 copies per minute, in a matter of minutes print the required circulation of educational and methodological materials and test assignments, texts and articles from the Internet, teachers’ original books, research papers students. Using this technique, children can publish a school newspaper, collections of the best essays, newsletters and almanacs, etc. Record video editing, soundtrack for events.


Evaluating the effectiveness The implementation of the project will allow: -improving service to library readers; -provide students, parents and teachers with information resources on traditional and non-traditional media in a timely and high-quality manner; -in 5 years, have a full-fledged media fund and an updated fund of educational, methodological, reference and fiction literature. - conduct the process of compiling electronic resources in accordance with the profile of the school’s educational activities, ensuring its completeness and purposefulness; - have access to a variety of information via the Internet; - qualitatively change the content of reference and bibliographic work; -respond to thematic queries as fully as possible, including the retrospective aspect and the use of global information resources; - to provide all participants in the educational process with the opportunity to master skills in working in various information retrieval systems; - connect to other information centers, databases of other libraries; -conduct training and consultations on the use of any media; - assist teachers in preparing for lessons using information technology; - provide the educational process with methodological materials through databases, electronic encyclopedias, etc. - use modern multimedia technologies; - Copy onto magnetic media, scan, print documents.

Ten facts about the benefits of reading.

1.Reading sharpens your eyes.

You will understand and see better the world and people, and most importantly, yourself. Be sure to read a good book again - you will probably see something new there.

2. Reading keeps you physically healthy.

Putting letters into words, words into images, realizing what the author wanted to express with them, and finding your own explanation for them is gymnastics for the brain. Without any risk of injury!

3. Reading has a positive impact on the environment.

If you are reading a book, it means that the tree from which it is made was not cut down in vain. There's no need to waste electricity or buy batteries to read books, and they're lighter than a laptop. You read, which means you cannot drive a car or walk on the streets, which leads to a reduction in traffic jams and queues.

4. Reading will teach you how to communicate.

Your interesting remarks will miraculously transform even boring conversations about yesterday's sporting events or television program. And your growing talent as a storyteller will allow you to easily take credit for the adventures of fictional characters. This makes a particularly big impression on people who hardly read.

5. Reading helps you spend your free time.

You will never get tired of reading books, because there are so many of them that even a few lifetimes will not be enough to read them all. You'll have to try a lot of different genres before you find books that you really enjoy. Don't give up until you find "your" book, because it can change your life.

6. Reading gives you peace of mind.

Parents, teachers and other adults will be so happy to see the child reading that they will not bother him again.

7. Reading is good for your wallet.

Firstly, books are cheaper than computer games. Secondly, your friends won’t have to worry about choosing a gift if they find out that you like to read. And thirdly, there are always libraries - books there cost nothing.

8. Reading helps you concentrate.

You can read while listening to music or during classes: read and not pay attention to the fuss around you. A trained reader can watch four programs in parallel without any problems, switching channels all the time. If you wish, you can read on public transport.

9. Reading is good for your figure.

Don't be afraid to dial overweight. A reading person does not need high-calorie food to cope with the hardships of a boring life. With a book you can travel as far as you wish and make your wildest dreams come true. It’s harder to seduce you with popcorn: after all, the “movie” is already playing in your head.

10. Reading is good for parents.

Watching a child enjoy a book helps adults get into reading too, even if they are too busy to read. Adults will be grateful to the child for the newfound happiness.

And it’s nice to hear when the kids say that today they were not just in the library, but were visiting Gosha.




To preserve the role of books in children's lives, we try to intensify attention to family reading. For this purpose, we created the “I want to read” Corner. Parents are offered methodological literature in the form of Reminders, Tips, Bookmarks. On Sundays, group and individual classes are held with parents, and on weekdays there are only individual conversations, where experienced librarians try to help parents interested in raising reading children. As a recommendation for organizing reading, a “Fairytale Calendar” is drawn up for each month. Quotes for this corner are chosen to be meaningful. For example, “By giving books to children, we give them wings.”





The arrangement of the fund for children of middle and high school age is systematic, according to branches of knowledge. To reveal the fund, we also try to arrange shelf exhibitions during the subscription. We design “talking” exhibitions. To the big ones literary holidays– panoramic exhibitions.

The guys from this shift worked on a special local history program “Studying the Past”, for the 65th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The key point was the study of documents from the history of the region. On an excursion to the Vistula Spit Museum, we learned in detail about the history of April 1945. This legendary days assault. And as a result, the library has 4 literary and historical studies: “Shura Serebrovskaya”, “The first inhabitants of the village. Spit", "Western landing", "Baltic Spit: past and present". The children learned a lot about the history of the city and region from the books of Lydia Dovydenko, a local writer and local historian.

An excursion to Schaaken Castle helped to learn about the past of the area. This castle is the epitome of the Middle Ages. It was built in the 12th century. Everyone was able to feel a little like knights and beautiful ladies: you could ride a horse, fight with spears and swords, shoot with a bow, try on ancient clothes, eat “medieval food.” But most importantly, the spirit of antiquity was in the air. True, it was creepy when the guide talked about terrible torture, which were used by the monks to fight heretics.

The book theater is used as an integral part of mass events held for young children, which helps to foster in them a love of reading through play and aesthetic perception text. It fosters active creative reading. After all, in early childhood understand and remember not with reason and memory, but with imagination and fantasy. When participating in Theater of the Book productions, children happily go to rehearsals, read and learn texts, and then show off their acting skills. The theater of the book works both as a puppet theater, and as a theater on the table, and as an animation theater, and as a shadow theater. Our theater is chamber. There are usually 20–30 children present at the performance. Theatricalization is an element of a mass event. Moreover, in front of each group, the required work of art is “played” by guys from the same group. Of course, they come to our rehearsals 2 weeks before the event. Moreover, it is not the most talented children who play in our theater. And these guys, with average creative potential, try very hard in our “performances” and happily show their ability to turn a small excerpt of a work of art into a bright picture. The remaining participants are active spectators of the event. They participate in competitions, quizzes, dialogue with artists, and young artists enjoy the attention of their classmates. Our theater is chamber. There are usually 20–30 children present at the performance. Theatricalization is an element of a mass event. Moreover, in front of each group, the required work of art is “played” by guys from the same group. Of course, they come to our rehearsals 2 weeks before the event. Moreover, it is not the most talented children who play in our theater.

The recreation corner “You Can Do It” was created for primary schoolchildren. Here at their disposal except interesting books there are developing Board games, checkers and chess, construction sets, puzzles, a real “Field of Miracles”, albums and felt-tip pens for drawing. When a group of children gathers, we conduct loud readings, face readings, and looking at illustrations. We see positive results when conducting reasoning conversations. The guys communicate with pleasure and engage in discussions with pleasure. The recreation corner “You Can Do It” was created for primary schoolchildren.

During school year in this library space work is being carried out on additional literary development with 1st grade students and extended day groups. We work according to the programs “My first Russian history” and “Seasons: a chronicle national holidays and rituals in Rus'." These are loud readings of historical and fiction literature, combined with the development creativity by the method of competitions and game programs. For example, according to the program “My First Russian History”, based on the exhibition “How Faith was Chosen in Rus'”, a conversation “The Baptism of Rus'” is held, a loud reading of the story of N.N. Golovin is held. “Holy Prince Vladimir and the Baptism of Rus'”, watching an episode from the film “Russian Rites” and a quiz. For example, according to the program “My First Russian History”, based on the exhibition “How Faith was Chosen in Rus'”, a conversation “The Baptism of Rus'” is held, a loud reading of the story of N.N. Golovin is held. “Holy Prince Vladimir and the Baptism of Rus'”, watching an episode from the film “Russian Rites” and a quiz.


According to the “Seasons” program, in January an exhibition-story “Winter Folk festivities” was organized, an educational conversation “Walk at Christmas time without looking back” was held with a loud reading of I. Shmelev’s stories from the book “The Lord’s Summer” and the stories of N.S. Leskova. Then the children took books to read at home on this topic and the next week carried out the game program “Christmas and Yuletide Week.” In May, an exhibition was created - a symbol of “The loudest of all months, the cheerful month of May!” Conversation with video clips “Holy Trinity”. Reading out loud books on the topic “People’s work in spring days.” Literary educational hour with the game program “Let's go, girls, curl some wreaths! Curl the wreaths, let’s curl the green ones!” In December, this is the symbolic exhibition “Frosty snow will sparkle with silver brocade.” Then a conversation with videos “Happy New Year! With all the family! Loud reading of books on a Christmas theme and the game program “Hello, guest winter!” A survey among teachers who use the program, working using innovative technologies, made it possible to improve it annually and continue to develop the cognitive interests of schoolchildren. The library space “Ulitsa Kolokolchikov” was built in the junior library building. After the renovation of the junior subscription, carried out under the “Renewal” program of the Ministry of Culture of the Kaliningrad Region, with the attraction of sponsorship funds, today for younger readers a visit to the library turns into little holiday.

Here books “live” on double-sided shelves that look like houses. These houses can be moved because they are on wheels. And it turns out to be such a beautiful “street of books.” Advertising (quotes, slogans about reading) on ​​the “facades of book houses” often changes. The exhibition shelves are also new, and one glass one is illuminated. And the exhibition displays there look simply fabulous. Here books “live” on double-sided shelves that look like houses.

Chief Librarian S.V. Barkova introduces first graders to library space“Street of Bells” We hold mass events here. After all, on the “Street of Bells”, as on a podium, you can place a ramp for the Theater of the Book. If you need to use video stories, then the children will have to turn in their chairs, which is also very interesting, towards the video wall where the technical means are located.

Every day we are faced with information “pouring” at us from all sides. Almost everywhere, and in the library too, we see stands, leaflets, leaflets that we... simply don’t notice anymore. Do our readers read our stands? Do they find the information they need there?

We'll figure it out together. It is a well-known fact that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. For your attention I I suggest Today a selection of photographs of information stands from different libraries, made both professionally and with the help of design solutions by the librarians themselves. For ease of perception of information, I have roughly divided the photographs into several sections.

I would like to note that fellow methodologists have written quite a bit on the topic of information stands. good recommendations. Let’s actually start with them.

..." The main goal in attracting readers to the library is not so much the introduction of various services, but ensuring their relevance, promoting intellectual products and the same services.

Promotion- This various shapes information, persuasion of users or reminders about library services and products.

Main tasks promoting library services are:

formation of a prestigious image (image) of the library in the minds of the population, representatives local authorities authorities, public organizations etc.;

informing about new services introduced by the library;

maintaining the popularity of existing library services, convincing users to demand them;

informing potential users about the time, place and conditions for the provision of services;

focusing the attention of users on the specific properties and benefits of the library services offered, on the freeness of basic forms of service.

The first photographs on the theme "library", "library". The use of these words is the most popular in the names of stands - there is a world, a city, a dossier, and a corner with a courier. In my opinion, any name looks decent, the main thing is that the “courier” promptly changes the information, the “world” reflects the “global” scale, and the “dossier” ... by the way, what’s in your “information dossier”, gentlemen - librarians?



We continue to study information stands. Colleagues suggest filling the resource with the following materials:


Basic information: library name; library network, of which it is a subdivision; operating mode; FULL NAME. librarian; composition of the fund

Goals and objectives of the library in the organization library services population;

Rules for using the library;

Information about the services offered by the library, about the forms of their provision;

Information about amateur associations, interest clubs (if any): work plan, goals, objectives, etc.;

Certificates of gratitude for the results achieved in the work;

Announcements about current events, monthly work plans, etc.;

Publishing products.



Each of the stands, in my opinion, is worthy of our attention. What do you think?

While you are looking at the photographs, I will continue.We all understand thatThe information stand should be located in a place convenient for users to familiarize themselves with. It is advisable to glaze the stand, especially if it is located outside the library. Materials and announcements must be updated in a timely manner so that the stand does not contain outdated information. Of course, use computer typing. What else? How do you like the presence of the word “information” in the names of the stands? This seems to be a good word, but librarians sometimes get carried away and we read, and read, and read “information”. It would be better if there was a Library City.


Just a couple of lines about design of materials. And above in the photo and below you will see design options. This is a personal matter (and financial too) for each library. But sometimes we see this picture - some librarians, without further ado, put more text in the proposed “pockets” and let it hang. And some people really love everything shiny and it turns out that the text is no longer important.


We librarians very often forget that our “information” will be read by ordinary people(don’t forget to allocate stands separately for adults and children), who absolutely don’t care how beautiful and long the name of our library is. They want to see what is happening in this library - what events, what services, when and in what department this can be done, and where to come with their child. Large-scale canvases filled with texts DO NOT WORK. Alas and ah.

Of course, we follow each other’s successes and focus on foreign countries, we come up with something of our own. The stands placed above are not bad or require improvement. Each of them is good, but THE READER NEEDS ANOTHER ONE.

BRIEF. CAPACITY. NOT STANDARD.

good example of brevity




I suggest reading very good thoughts on the topic of stands from one of our librarian colleagues. The answers to these questions may vary from librarian to librarian. And this is good, because in this case we will be dealing with “a non-general facial expression.” Someone, for sure, can suggest more techniques and methods that make information stands truly work effectively, and not just a set of posters, by which readers pass without stopping.

1. How many stands do you need?There may be several of them: in the foyer, at the subscription office, in the reading room, in other departments and functional rooms. Each of them has their own goals and objectives.

In the foyer - the most general information about the library: full name, postal and email address, founders, managers, partners, mission, awards. Probably, information about the regulatory documents is appropriate: Charter, Rules, Price lists for paid services..., according to which the library operates. Hardly worth putting full text these documents, it is enough to list them and tell them where they are and who to contact for them. Here is the structure of the library: the names of departments (branches), how they can help readers/users, how to find them, who to contact... Information about general library, district/city events and promotions.

Accordingly, in departments there is more detailed information about the departments: about employees, resources, services, events, achievements...

2. Where and on what are the stands located? Spatially: closer to the collection, to the exit, next to the catalogue, near the department? ... It depends on both the size of the room and the conceptual idea. On special tablets, posters, exhibition stands, bookshelves, right on the wall, using scrap materials?... I know that there are very original finds.

3. What stands are needed: permanent or variable? Statemental or navigational (explaining where, what and how to find)? There may be both. You can make two parts on one stand. Then what is the ratio of the parts? Frequency of updating the variable component?

4. Sections and topics of the stand? They depend on what we want to tell readers/users, what to show, what to entice... They can also be permanent and replaced with more relevant ones.

6. How will texts, sections and topics be arranged on the stand? You can follow the principle of a book page:
left to right, top to bottom. It is possible - centrifugally. In the center there is a non-stopper, some detail that sharply attracts attention: a question mark and the question itself, a photograph, a black spot... In children's libraries, mascots, literary characters are used for this purpose... and then, to the edges of the stand - texts , revealing the meaning of non-stopper. The text and pictures located in the upper right part are best perceived: the most important or urgent information may be here. What other ideas are there?

7. Will the color scheme be used and how? What colors will carry the main meaning? Be sure to clarify and use color combinations correctly. Here you can think about what fonts can be used. Of course, computer printing looks better, but depending on the design, why not use exclusive works by the artist.

8. What are the stylistic features and language? Much depends on the location of the stands and, accordingly, the intended purpose. Official text - business style and language. Event invitations are naturally more emotional language. There may be style options for children and teenagers, students and retirees. The main thing is that there is no commanding tone, prohibitive or punitive promises.

9. Will there be an appeal to readers? What type: greeting, question, call for evaluation, feedback? Generalized-personified: dear friend, dear reader..., or generalized-group: dear students, pensioners...

10. Is it supposed to be interactive? If so, how will feedback be provided: special pockets for notes, questions, color tokens for voting; place for online entries, (“collection” of reviews), contact communication channels? What else? IN Lately Libraries began to actively use electronic information tools: creeping line, computer monitor. Maybe the time will come, we will use holograms. And what do you think? And what haven't I said yet?

But most importantly, since we live in an age of high technology, this means that the information that we want to convey to the masses should be located on high-tech, modern information stands.

An interactive information board that recognizes the reader by sight is no longer a fantasy! Instead of static stands in the “monologue” format, technological solutions have already been created that integrate with Digital Signage systems and allow not only to convey information to the consumer, but also to provide feedback : analyze how many people actually read the information posted on the board, how much time they spend near it, evaluate the reaction of the information consumer, determine the age, gender, social status of the “readers.”
