My Project

A Pre-K school library is an essential resource that nurtures early literacy, social skills, and a lifelong passion for learning. By creating a dynamic and supportive environment, libraries play a crucial part in shaping children's educational journeys.

My goal is to bring a welcoming child friendly library experience to all of the Pre-K aged students at the school.

To enhance the library experience for all Pre-K students, my goal is to create a welcoming, child-friendly environment. This includes providing child-sized furniture, additional shelving for books, and materials to support visual connections to the stories. I aim to refresh our collection with newer books and establish a cozy reading area where students can comfortably enjoy their favorite titles.
