My Students

Our library is the hub of our school. It is always bustling with students researching, checking out books, reading for pleasure, and enjoying library lessons.

Our students are avid readers that enjoy visiting the library on a regular basis.

They enjoy reading because we make reading and researching an enjoyable experience at our school. We strive to keep our library and its programs up to date and we also want to provide a welcoming atmosphere in order to continue to foster the love of reading in each of our children.

My Project

Our students will enjoy the warm atmosphere in the library with its comfortable seating, large story time carpet, and chairs that can double as desks for students to use to complete research and classroom assignments. These items will also to help create an environment in our library conducive to encouraging our students visit the library, check out books, and hang out and read.

It is imperative that our library continue to welcome our students and teachers.

We want each patron to enter the library and experience a, "Wow!" reaction. Our library will be warm and inviting and continue to bring everyone in to grow their love of reading!
