How can libraries encourage people to read more?
First of all, libraries should provide a nice and cozy environment. In my hometown, most libraries are very old and dark inside. In addition, they should offer a great variety of reading materials, especially books that might appeal to students. I think a library that does not supply Japanese comic books or contemporary (= present-day) best-sellers would be out of date. Offering books like the Harry Potter collection or the Dan Brown series (like The Da Vinci Code, and Angels and Demons) will definitely attract readers. On top of this, libraries could collaborate with primary-school teachers. A Chinese teacher could bring his class to the library, where the librarian would read the kids a story. Afterwards, young students could go around the library and read on their own for some time. If students get used to reading at a very young age, they will be more likely to read more when they get older.
