More of a picture of the library environment I inherited in 2013 can be seen in these pictures. The Fiction collection which was very small for a high school of 1400 students had a bare cardboard coloured notice board at the end which I attempted to brighten up with posters and an untidy collection of videos, dvds, teacher reference at the other end.
In order to make the library more inviting. I expanded the Fiction and created a quiet reading nook. The notice board was also covered to highlight reading promotion material.
Painting the posts in the library the key colours of red, mint green or deep blue also lifted the atmosphere.
