Quest for the perfect (small) library...

[jbrinkm]

Please tell me what your perfect library would look like, particularly if confined to a small space.

Desk or table?
Beanbags or couch or chairs?
Book organization system? Bins or shelf dividers?
Miscellaneous other items (i.e. felt board, magnetic letters)?

I'm trying to re-do my library for next year and I get to put in some orders, so I'm hoping to maximize my space and create a really inviting and meaningful space for the children to enjoy literature.

Thanks!

In PreK:
Bins of books on shelves organized by themes and topics for preK.
Stuffed animals from Kohls that 'go' with picture books
Pillows or bean bag chairs

I really want one of these for my library.

I love the storage for books underneath. I'd add some soft cushions on top for the kids to sit.

Right now I have this, this, and this in my library.

Rug, comfortable seating, lamp, shelves, books in bins/baskets organized by topics. I put stickers on the front of my books and bins. That way when children put books away, they match the sticker on the book to the sticker on the bin/basket.
