Fashion Book Corner 3

Create a cosy book corner in a quiet place away from the busy Fashion Points. This corner should provide resources and space for self-study on topics related to the fashion industry and slow fashion.

Arrange your corner in a way that will entice visitors to sit and read. For example, place a couple of armchairs, some beanbags and/or a sofa around a coffee table with some books on it. Make sure that the space is well lit, or add artificial lighting if this is needed.

Visibly mark the book corner with a sign that says this is a quiet place.

Put up posters around the event space which invite visitors into this quiet reading zone.

Ask the school if they can provide you with suitable books, or if they could buy books from the recommended list below for their library. If the school does not have the capacity to do this, you can borrow books from a public or university (if you have access) library in your area.

Tablets with ebooks and open magazine tabs could also be made available in the book corner.

To expand the library offer, a list of podcasts available on streaming platforms can also be supplied. Ask your school if they can lend headphones or tablets to the Fashion Book Corner. Visitors can also listen to podcasts from their own internetconnected smartphones with the help of their own headphones.
