My Project

The Bradford Library is a vibrant center for student learning, research, and collaboration. However, our current furniture is showing its age, with many pieces in disrepair and detracting from the library's potential. Investing in comfortable and functional seating is crucial to maximizing student engagement with the library and its resources.

Our vision is to create a truly welcoming and inspiring atmosphere, one that encourages students to linger longer, exploring the world of literature and enriching their academic pursuits.

The new seating will be used by many of our students, including our various clubs and small groups that use the library as a meeting space. By offering a variety of seating options, we can cater to diverse learning styles, fostering both focused individual study and dynamic collaborative projects. Expanding our seating capacity will also allow us to accommodate more students, providing ample space for teens to connect with the library and each other.
