2. Innovative Ways to Encourage Reading - Design features like playful interiors and slides are being utilized to entice readers.
3. Pop-up Library Trend - Pop-up libraries featuring unique designs that add a touch of culture to different parts of the city, are making reading more accessible.
Industry Implications
