How it's used
While this term is standard, Hong Kongers often refer to public reading spaces simply as 圖書館, as most reading rooms are located inside libraries. Using 閱讀室 specifically implies a quiet, designated area for reading or study rather than the entire facility. It is common in schools or community centers where a specific room is set aside for silent work.
