University libraries serve not only as information repositories but also as learning spaces that provide meaningful experiences for users. The quality of reading spaces plays an important role in supporting library services because reading activities require environments that promote concentration, comfort, and productivity. This study aims to examine the influence of interior design on users’ reading comfort at the Library of Palembang Aviation Polytechnic. A quantitative approach with a survey method was applied in this study. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to library users. Interior design was measured through indicators including spatial arrangement, lighting, color, furniture, and environmental conditions, while reading comfort was assessed through physical, psychological, visual, and social dimensions. Data analysis involved validity testing, reliability testing, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that interior design has a significant positive influence on users’ reading comfort. Effective interior design management contributes to improving library quality and creating user-oriented learning environments.
