A Reading Respite

Funded Feb 7, 2024

Thank you so much for the wonderful and comfortable additions to our middle school library. With your generosity, we were able to add four cushioned chairs and six large and colorful floor pillows to our space. Before this addition, our students only had access to rigid and uncomfortable seating that was beginning to age out. Now, students in library classes can lounge comfortably while doing class work or curl up with a good book during their free time. Needless to say, they could not be more excited about these additions.

The library in our school is beginning to show its age. Designed in a time when large and heavy tables, complete with unyielding wooden chairs, were all the rage, our space is downright uncomfortable. In the past, our students have told us that they have not chosen to spend their free time in the library because of this. Ever since we added the new furniture, our daily free period is hopping, which means more students are using our resources and finding a comfortable respite in which to relax with friends, do homework, play games, or read. We couldn't have done this without you so thanks!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Forstrom
