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

Our students love the school library and reading! When the weather is nice, we could expand the library outside to the enormous, fifth floor terrace to create an Open Air Reading Room. Help us show that reading, independent research, and general curiosity shouldn't be confined within the four walls of the library.

We want to support our students' mental health, offer comfortable seating, and provide structured access to the beautiful, outdoor space immediately adjacent to our library!

The primary function of the Open Air Reading Room would be to function as a cozy, welcoming space for recreational reading. However, photography students and teachers could also schedule it for taking pictures in natural light, art classes could visit to get inspiration and a change of scenery, and film courses could host outdoor screenings under the stars.
