All the children in our building (320) visit the library on a rotation basis throughout the school week. As it has often been difficult to adequately seat them this will provide them with creative and special seating areas. Having this update to the library will give them a certain assurance that they will have an unexpected place in the library to enjoy while they are there and reading. Everything and every detail that is given, is because of the love that the children have for reading and exploring the library. These items will definitely benefit them and uplift their spirits as they return to school. Having a library that is beautiful and bright gives them pride and promotes learning.
