My Project

Our library has been closed for student use for 15 years, and I have worked hard this year to add books, furniture, and materials to make it a place students can relax and come for the resources they need. Now, I want to round out our efforts with materials to organize materials so students can easily access them and supplies to beautify the space.

Students requested plants to have green in the space, lamps for softer lighting, and frequently updated bulletin boards to keep students updated on what is happening in the library.

I am also requesting tubs for organization, some tools to upkeep materials around the library and for students to tinker, labels to organize our shelves, and stuffed animals for our couch.
