A while back, Linh, her friend and I went to Kulturhuset in T-Centralen to go to a library. The library was called
Tio Tretton (in English -
Ten Thirteen), which was a library directed to kids 10 to 13 years old.
The main purpose of the library is, well, a
reading place. But I think that it's more than that. It has a kitchen, a small stage, a ton of board games and much , much more.
On the left is a really big, soft and comfortable couch. It's designed their as a reading nook.
Another reading nook near this was a large bean bag. It was much more comfortable than that on the left!
Another reading nook Tio Tretton has to offer is like a dock. There's two levels, one on the bottom that has two wide chairs for you to sit on and one on the top (requires to you climb steps to go there) which is like a half-circle shaped foam area kind of thing.
Another facility of Tio Tretton is their mini-stage / theater / computer area / reading lounge. It's basically composed of a half-circle shaped stage. Covering the stage is an area where children can use Wifi-Enabled Macs to do anything they wish, from Facebook to Minecraft Party. Outlaying the computers is an elevated sitting area with a velvet sofa. Below the sofa is a showcase of different Swedish books for children.
(Sidenote: I tried my best describing the place, but you must see the pictures for a better understanding of what I just wrote.)
Tio Tretton has activities laid out for the children every weekday, wherein in one day they have a theme. Let's say Mondays are for making your own computer games out of scratch, Tuesdays are for muffin baking, Wednesdays are for making a necklace out of beads and string and et cetera.
