Case Analysis of Reading Promotion Activities in University Libraries Based on the “Third Space” Theory

Abstract

Taking the Library of Hubei University of Technology as an example, this pa-per deeply analyzes its reading promotion activities based on the “Third Space” theory. The study finds that through creating a comfortable reading space, holding diverse reading activities, and strengthening interaction and cooperation with readers, the Library of Hubei University of Technology has successfully increased readers’ participation and satisfaction, and created a strong campus reading atmosphere. However, there are still deficiencies in publicity efforts, resource limitations, and sustainability. This paper proposes optimization strategies such as strengthening publicity, expanding resources, and establishing a long-term mechanism, hoping to provide a reference for the reading promotion activities of other university libraries.
