近年來在公共圖書館的兒童室中鋪設地氈已愈來愈普遍，然而兒童室中需不需要 或適不適合鋪設地氈仍然頗引起爭議。本文綜合一份對全省鄉鎮圖書館兒童室有關地氈狀況 的調查資料及相關的文獻，就在兒童室中鋪設地氈之功能性目的及各館舍本身的條件加以分 析，並以一些相關的問題如空間（燈光）設計、材料及設備、塵沙防治、聲響問題及與視聽 室之關係等加以說明。希望這些資料能提供館員們在思考是否要為兒童室鋪設地氈時的參考 。

　　　　　Based on the results of a regional survey of the physical environments of rural/town public libraries in Taiwan, this article discussed the existing problems and factors which influenced the decisions of carpeting in children's rooms. Those factors included manpowers, budgets, and physical conditions. Besides, some basic items, such as material selection, dust prevention, acoustical treatments, and the co-used of A/V room, are also carefully examined. The article concluded with the argument that the final decision of carpeting should be cautiously considered by the librarians on the basis of the objective requirements and conditions of each room.
