Let me introduce to you the Book Bag
![Page 40: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A book that bags other books. Normally, a book. With a flip, a bag. Being tear- and weather-proof (using Tyvek®) makes the Book Bag your trusted
friend in carrying heavy library books. Easily borrowed and returned like any other library book (using RFID tags), the Book Bag finds a natural
place in your reading journey.
![Page 41: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Book Bag. (prototype)
A book that bags other books.

An engaging bag experience…
…through tapping on our everyday visual and tactile familiarity with book-like books…
…and the way we hold, use and interact with them.

Recommended material to make the Book Bag long-lasting: Tyvek®
A tear-proof, water-resistant and very strong and
durable plastic micro-fibre fabric usually used to make
shipping envelopes, medical packaging and hazard suits.

OK if you can want some more information,
read on...

How the Book Bag appeals to the library users’ head, heart and gut.
Warning! Next few slides are wordy (hence possibly boring)...
![Page 51: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Head ~ rational attributes, “liking the idea of it” The Book Bag reminds one of a book and about reading,
which ‘implicates’ NLB and its mission through
such reminiscences in the library users’ and public’s mind.
It would be interesting to see how users seem like they are
walking around with ‘open books’ in their hands, always
looking like they are in the middle of
reading, living and carrying out daily
activities while in the midst of reading.
![Page 52: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Heart ~ interaction-based, “how it works”
With readers already handling and borrowing books at the
library, having to handle an extra ‘book’ would offer the
least resistance in terms of having to learn and adopt new
behaviour. Low-cost RFID tags allow the Book Bag to be
borrowed as a ‘book’ while being economically viable,
and also fulfilling the criteria of
encouraging return since the Book Bag
will have to be borrowed as part of the
user’s loan quota!
![Page 53: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Heart (cont’d)
~ interaction-based, “how it works” The functional convenience the Book Bag offers for
library users who didn’t bring bags along would be
appealing to the heart. Above all, the Book Bag ‘becomes’
a bag only when book-carrying is needed in between the
home and library, and at other times becomes a book
worthy of being keep together with the
other borrowed books (i.e. not having
to hunt for it at home to return), hence
situating itself as a natural part of the
reader’s journey and physical environment.
![Page 54: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Gut ~ visual/emotional stimulation, “I love how slick it looks” The overall book-like design of a bag would naturally
draw the interest. Incorporating elements of ‘clever’,
interactive design (e.g. the ‘floating’ hand) would draw
further curious attention (visceral
appeal) from the public eye, and
hopefully create a kind of brand buzz.
![Page 55: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
All the design aspects of the Book Bag were inspired through:
• research on popular trends on bag design
• ethnographic study of library users’ behaviour
• interviews and straw-polls with friends
• prototyping and testing
• resources on design thinking (in library and Internet)

Here are the last bits...yes, seriously. For NLB’s kind consideration...

Further Suggestions
#1 Make the Book Bag bigger – at least A3 size for larger capacity
beyond the design brief
![Page 60: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Further Suggestions
#2 Customise the Book Bag for different population groups
beyond the design brief
For kids - children’s book design (Enid Blyton?), smaller size
For ethnic minorities - have instructions in ethnic dialects
![Page 61: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Further Suggestions
#3 Book highlights / recommendations
beyond the design brief
Change book design based on recommended books of the month
Make it SOCIAL & ENGAGING
Get readers to vote online (Facebook?) for their all-time favourite reads
Have Book Bags designed to the top 3 voted books
![Page 62: The Book Bag](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052504/548347135906b5cd158b4649/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
