Libraries have more or less looked the same for over a century. Not really presenting the books in any other way than by the text on its spine. The Jungle of Books addresses the necessity of a more welcoming library environment for kids, a part of the library that could be designed for and by kids.
The Bookbrowser is an interactive browsing tool that helps kids to navigate through the libraries whole range of books. And it also guides them to the shelf were the book is placed.
The Storytelling Tent came out of an idea to in a new way introduce books for kids. We did this by creating a pleasant environment that kids can go into and listen to audio and light augmented chapters from an audiobook. These chapters are meant to work in the same way that movie trailers do today.
