Little Changes, Big Differences

Before
One of our first projects was to try to change the atmosphere of the library, making it more inviting and a student friendly space.  To make this happen, a student took over a project that really revived one of the sections. 
After!

This corner housed magazines, some old history books, and an assortment of reference materials. With a little rearranging, adjusting the shelves, and working on the presentation of the area, the space went from cluttered to open and inviting. 

Ryley did a great job of taking the shelves apart, fixing the ones that needed repairs, and staggering the slanted and horizontal shelving to allow both current and back issues of magazines to be displayed.  It took a few days and some sweat equity, but those few small changes really brightened up the library and made that section not only more useful but also accessible and inviting.
