In Celtic Druidism, the oak tree was considered sacred and was an important place for priests to hold religious ceremonies.

It is said that Charlemagne loved the oak tree, he would hold public hearings under a huge oak tree, hearing cases and issuing orders. This oak tree is called “Charlemagne's oak”, became a symbol of justice.

Louis IX, who is said to have held his trials under an ancient oak tree in the Vendome forest near Paris. This oak tree was called “St. Louis's Oak”. Every week, St. Louis would meet with the people under this oak tree to hear their complaints and decide justly. The oak tree became a symbol of fairness and justice.

A library is the spiritual portrait of a nation, and a reading room is the kingdom of a reader's mind. 

So it's not hard to think of an oak tree even an artificial oak tree combined with a library or reading room indoors. As everyone wants to grow up in an environment where there is fairness and justice, and to work towards creating more of it.
