Visual Adventures in the Library

My Project

Our school library budget pays for less than one new book per child per year. This project will not only enhance our library's collection of diverse fiction in diverse formats, it will also help us to continue to create that "third space".

The library should be a cozy, visually interesting place where students can step away from the pressures of their academic environment and read for curiosity and pleasure.

The pillows, wall decals and stickers are meant to reinforce the idea that this library is theirs.

The books chosen for this project additionally reflect the great diversity of our school. Authors who are underrepresented in the field are highlighted here and our students benefit from seeing themselves reflected in the stories they read.
