A reading break gives workshop volunteers a comfortable place to pause between tasks and share an idea.
Leave a small bookmark on each chair so visitors can return to their place.
Set up the shared table
Keep books away from tools and leave a clear route through the room. Use our greener break space guide to plan the corner.
