Have you enjoyed reading in a forest? Or have you seen a library surrounded by trees? The first “forest library” in Shanghai gives readers the chance to relax and read in a natural environment.

Known as Read&Joy Forest, the forest library is located in a green space area near Shanghai Library East. Covering an area of 20,546 square meters, it allows visitors to take a pleasant walk in the quiet and green forest.

The library is designed to keep the forest as it is. The green spaces are connected by wooden walkways. The library with chairs and an information board, is in the open air.

“I learned about the forest library from my friends, and I came here,” said Ms. Wang, a college student. “There are lots of different kinds of trees there. This special environment helps kill the pain of my eyes. I will come back for sure.”

“Having a library in the woods is an extension (延伸) of reading indoors,” according to Xu Qiang, one of the leaders of Shanghai Library. “It offers different reading experiences to readers.”

Most of the visitors to the forest library were young people and parents with their children. They either focused on (专注于) reading or simply took a walk in the forest. “I was really attracted by the fresh air and the smell of the trees here. I’ve spent the whole morning indoors, and want to get some fresh air. The library makes it possible to enjoy reading in a comfortable environment. I feel very relaxed here,” said one reader sitting on a chair.
