My Project

I plan to implement the first schoolwide library in my school. The students of our school have special needs, including most enjoying quiet spaces. This library will be used for that and as a place for students to adventure through reading or listening to literature.

As part of our vocational work program, there will be assigned duties in keeping the library area well kept.

Our school houses students ages 6-22 who will all have access to browsing the school library. This will be beneficial to every student in our school in a wide array of ways.

I plan to use the rolling book cart as a divider between spaces and for a book display. The seat cushions are going to be wonderful for floor seating for younger students while browsing.

Thank you in advance!
