Ideas Start Here



 My first impression for this photo was, “Wow! What a good idea for a school library. Of course, the sign would not be taken literally. Who would dare say you couldn’t sit in the chairs if you didn’t have an idea?

Other questions that immediately came to mind:
Could this be the library’s version of a buddy bench?
Where in the library could this kind of area be set up?
Would this space need to be reserved for small group conversations? It might if it were in a large high school.
How could the space be defined? Area rug? Floor pillows? Funky chairs? A low table with a dry- erase top? I think I would put a large ottoman in the middle of the four chairs in the photo rather than a table. Then you wouldn’t have to remind the kids to get their feet off the furniture. :-/ I would get someone (perhaps a parent volunteer) to make a portable dry-erase surface that could be  laid on top of the ottoman.
