Bringing the library to life with art and games

Help me give my students ways to express themselves in our comfy library: I'm looking for things to help them make and display art, play together, and enjoy each other's company without digital distractions.

My Project

We have a beautiful brand new library that is missing student voice and diversions. We have so many creative, fun-loving students who need a space for them to socialize and show off their interests and talents, as well as showcase the library's offerings. The library is a place to read, but also to be with others and celebrate our community.

I am looking for art supplies, games, and supporting storage and organizational items that will support students' sense of belonging in the library and bring joy into our shared space.
