For my Girl Scout Silver Award, I collaborated with two other Girl Scouts to design and build a library book nook/patio at a local middle school, Tierra Linda Middle School.
Our goal was to create a space that would foster a sense of community within the school and provide students with a welcoming environment to connect over their shared love of books, collaborate, and do homework.
We noticed the school lacked an inviting area where students could gather before, during, or after school to read, study, and build friendships. By designing the space to feel warm and accessible with student-recommended books and comfortable seating, we hoped to encourage a culture of reading and connection.
