Studies that prove the children's section should be in a different building?
Post Body

Hello, I'm an architecture major working on their thesis (I'm redesigning a public library) and it's been suggested to me that I should do two structures - the main library and a children's library. I like the idea but I can't seem to find any articles about this. At the very least I'd like to get everyone's opinion on it. Thanks in advance!

P.S. If your local library has any other separate structures from the main library I'd be interested in knowing what they are :)

Edit: it's a bad idea! got it. thanks for telling me, i'll stick to one structure.

Edit 2: For everyone wondering, it was just a fellow architecture major from my college who suggested looking into the pros and cons of a separate children's library building because there are children's only libraries and it might be worth looking into why. I swear I'm not some American Bible Belt right wing propaganda troll. 😭 I'm not from the US, or even North America for that matter.

not a librarian here! as a child i would go to the library all the time. i think having the two spaces connected helped me feel more bold about venturing into the adult library for books. i would sometimes take them back to the kids section to read because i was intellectually curious, but also loud and boisterous and not comfortable being 100% quiet.

not to mention my siblings! some of them were ready for adult books before and after i was. or my poor mother!
