My Project

We need a comfy, cozy space for our students when it is time for a read-aloud or storytime. As a library that serves 3K to 5th-grade students, we need a dedicated space for this activity. A high-quality rug with colored spaces allows for the instant organization of the group, spacing, and the ability to group in multiple ways using the spaces.

Reading aloud to children is a vital piece to the literacy puzzle.

There are inherent benefits to reading out loud, and it is a central part of a library program. Building this space is vitally important to our students' academic success.
