This is foremost challenging area of library dimensions: To attact more users towards the library one can do the follwing:
1. We can divide the whole area as following-research area, Serious reading, Reference area, Text Book area, Discussion room and a place for magazines, carrier, scholarship and other related material .
2. The relaxation area should be equipped with all kind of magazines with comfortable sofas and chairs so that user can enjoy the reading.
2. Library should have a good collations of latest classics novel based on user group. It has been seen that students likes to read novels.
3. There should be a orientation program regarding library services
4. It is also advisable for a Library portal from where users can know the latest arrivals details and other assistance to the library.
Hope it will work for you.

Following steps can be adopted to attract the users to libraries:
1. In case of academic libraries, user orientation programmes can be conducted for the students in the starting of new session.
2. Library websites can be used to promote usage of library.
3. Attitude and behaviour of library staff is very important in carrying out public relations with users. Staff should behave in a very humble, polite and skillfull manner.
4. Information regarding various library services should be given to users in anticipation rather than on demand basis, because sometimes users are not aware about the existing library services.
5. Library sorroundings and the reading area should be pleasant, noise free, aesthetically designed with proper furniture and fittings so that user can have a feel of comfort.
6. SDI servvice can be provided so that user can abreast with the latest information in his/her field of interest.
7. There should be a separate collection on fiction, general knowledge books and magazines which can be placed in light reading area.
