Abstract
Group reading plays an important role for children. We here formalize a new framework to enhance children’s group reading by digitizing the printed picture books and placing a digital table in a physical library. Children around a digital table can easily browse in a large virtual bookshelf to find the desired printed and/or digitized picture books, exchange the opinions about these books while reading, and hand these books over freely among themselves. The benefits of the formulated framework were shown by two usability case studies.
