My Project

Our school's library is tucked away behind the cafeteria. Our seasoned students may know where it is, but any visitors or new scholars always have difficulty locating us.

By giving us a clear sign to place in the cafeteria over our library door, all members of our school community will be able to easily figure out where the library is located.

Instead of looking like a random door to nowhere, these silver letters will show the school exactly where we are, and give the library a feeling of being the heart of the school.

We also love our shelf signs so much that we want to add them to our graphic novel section as well!
