Library in a mosque nearby

I recently visited a Masjid (mosque) in Rehab, Jeddah. In one corner of the mosque, they have, as you can see in the pic, sofas to sit and read from the small library of books. I think that's pretty neat. It encourages reading and referencing. I mean if its out in the open, its more inviting than a closed out-of-sight room? At least for beginners like me.
Though such facilities may be common in large mosques, this particular one, isn't that big; in fact, it was a small Masjid.
