My Project

We want to liven up a corner of the library to create a great space for students. Our library has a great space that, with just a little bit of work, could transform into a special reading spot just for students! Some lights, decor and paint are going to freshen up the space and welcome students to get comfy and read! My goal is to create a space students want to spend time in, one that welcomes students and celebrates reading.

Help create a welcome, comfy spot for students to get cozy with a book!
