Right now my students sit on hard chairs when reading in the library. I would like for them to have a comfortable place to sit and read. Hurricane Harvey damaged our library and funds were used to fix our roof. Our school does not have the funds to provide the small comforts that our children deserve. Our school is located in a rural area. Many of our students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and rely on the library for access to books and other reading materials. I believe that having a comfortable place to read in our library would encourage our students to read more and spend more time enjoying books.
