My Project

Some students love to hang out in the library at lunch, during break, and before or after school.

A soft pillow creates a perfect spot on the floor to relax while reading a book.

They are often looking for a quiet corner to rest their heads, read a book, or just find a comfortable moment in a stressful day.

Others love to talk to a friend in the corner of the stacks. Two soft pillows side by side can lead to a friendship. High school students love the floor, so I want to make it more inviting for them!
