My Project

Help me transform our school library into a welcoming, student-centered space by funding a sectional couch! My students love to read, collaborate, and explore new ideas—but our current seating is limited and uncomfortable. A sectional couch will provide a cozy, inviting spot where students can curl up with a good book, work together on group projects, or simply feel at ease in a safe, calm environment.

Many of my students come to the library not just for books, but for a break from noisy or stressful spaces.

This couch will give them a comfortable place to relax and recharge while staying engaged in learning. Whether they’re diving into a fantasy novel, researching for a class, or sharing stories with friends, having a soft, spacious seating option will make our library feel more like home—and more like a place they want to be.

Thank you for helping create a space where students feel supported, inspired, and excited to learn!
