Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Don't we all just love to get cozy with a book? Students are just like us. They need a comfortable space to dive into their next book series. As of right now, the students all try to get to the two flexible seating options I have. I want to expand my flexible seating library just like I have for my actual library.

Flexible seating allows students to feel inspired and ready to read.

My goal is to make students excited to go to the library and excited to read. Please help me get new, fun, flexible seats so all the students get a chance to read in a comfortable reading spot.

The students at this school love to tell me what they are going to read next. I want to continue their love of learning. These students deserve a welcoming area to read.
