My Project

Flexible seating in the library is a fun way to get students to come to the library to enjoy reading, working on homework, doing college classes and more. It gives all students a comfortable place to do their work and concentrate better on their lessons. Currently we have tables and chairs that don't allow for much comfort. We also have 2 couches that are hand-me-downs and in poor condition. I would like to provide all students a place to land to rest, relax, learn and become a more productive learner by having flexible seating in all areas of the library and media center. The media center is the hub of much learning and times of quiet and peace. Help me give that to my students.
