Worked example
Imagine a child pinning current school projects over a desk, where older work and reminders have accumulated into an unreadable wall.
Limit the display to current work and one reminder zone, with a folder for finished pieces. Let the learner choose what stays visible and check that the display is readable from the desk.
How to test it
Update the display using the learner's normal materials and check that it remains legible.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place quiet reading at the far edge and group tables near the entrance or resource counter.
- Detail
- Use readable shelf labels, task light at tables, and soft finishes in designated quiet areas.
- Trade-off
- More group seating can raise noise across the library.
- Listen from the quietest seat during group use
- Check shelf aisles allow two students to pass
