My Project

Our middle school media center is the heart of our school! Making time to read as a tween instead of spending time on a device is a huge deal. As new titles are purchased and outdated titles are weeded, dynamic shelving provides an opportunity to catch a reader's eye, to make them want to come visit the media center, to find exactly the right book.

When books are faced out on the shelf as often as possible, readers can make that crucial first impression and connection with a book.

Brightly colored and sturdy signs can enhance a display and give our students an invitation to take a closer look.

Our media center could use some brightening up to match the excitement and color that leap from the pages of our dynamic collection of books!

We need some help to spruce up our shelving and display options with sturdy containers and clear & bright signage!
