My Project

Help me give my students a wonderful place to read in our school's library! Students love to read at our school and we want them to feel special and scholarly.

Our students deserve a safe space to read, relax, and enjoy our space.

Reading is so much more fun when we are given space to read.

Our students deserve areas that will help sustain their reading time. Students love to read and they deserve areas that give them comfort and success. Furniture matters because it shows students that they matter and their space is crucial to support their reading. Students here deserve the very best! Please help us have comfortable seating in our library.
