Original Grant Overview

Goal

To provide students with a comfortable, updated and inviting area in our Media Center where they can read independently, study stress-free and work collaboratively.  

 

What will be done with my students

Our library serves as a common space where our readers are able to enhance their independent reading skills, enjoy STREAM activities and grow their love of literacy . Our library's layout, lends it self to the set up of various areas for center style activiites. Updating these spaces with newer and more modern furniture will aid in motivating students to visit the Media Center.  

 

Benefits to my students

Libraries create important learning environments. They help learners develop academic, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. They borrow concepts from various non-academic environments so as to create a place where learners can do research, interact, and collaborate. Using more modernized furniture to enhance the space will build pride in students who utilize it and help to inspire those who aspire to enjoy it. Furniture does not only reconfigure spaces inside the library but also helps in modernizing the culture of the library, providing all users with a comfortable space that invites self-directed learning and interaction 

 

Budget Narrative

Cost will replace current furniture and is expected to serve its purpose for a minimum of 5 years.
