A Five-Minute Reset for the Reading Room
A quick close to the evening keeps the reading corner ready for tomorrow.

Mark your place
Use a bookmark instead of leaving a book open face down. Return the current read to its designated shelf or table.
Clear the surface
Carry out cups and put away loose notes. Wipe spills promptly so paper and textiles stay dry.
Reset the seat
Fold the throw, put the cushion back and switch off the lamp. Leave the route through the room open for the next person.
Does everything need to look perfect?
No. The goal is a usable seat and a book you can find, not a staged room.
