My Project

The Wolverine Book Cafe will position the library to offer new literacy experiences for all students. Having a gathering place where students can snack on titles and find a comfortable place in the library to leisurely read is important.

Students are most attentive and focused when they are in a safe and calming environment.

The library is the hub and heartbeat of the school and the space should accommodate and invite all for various activities. Inviting diverse readers to browse new titles in an inviting space that is comfortable.

Having a solid book collection in a central location and an inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating will increase the traffic to the library. So, my goal is to furnish two seating areas to attract old and new readers and optimize space in the library.
