the school library
Libraries are no longer stuffy and silent book storage facilities but are places of learning and discovery, story telling, group interaction and cozy spots for reading and focused study. In selecting furniture for a k-12 school library, we look to understand the various activities and provide fun, flexible and diverse areas for children to interact with the library materials, staff and each other.
