The flexible floor chairs have been a huge hit. It is so exciting to see students gravitate to them right away. Because they are so portable, I have been able to try out different reading spaces in the library that can change with the seasons. The bright fabric add a much needed pop of color to the library, staff as well as students have commented on how nice the new seating looks in the library. With your help, I have been able to make the library a welcoming and exciting place to be! \r\n\r\nThe library is the place that where students can seek out their interests and explore subjects because they want to, giving them the freedom to love learning.
