Project poster

The goal for this project was to envision possibilities for reorganizing the fixtures and collection of the Roosevelt library to make it a more dynamic space. Though the project was significantly impacted by COVID-19, weeding between January and March reduced the collection by just over 1,000 volumes. Recommendations for improving the library’s overall flexibility and accessibility include completing the weeding work, purchasing new shelving units on casters, and reorganizing the book collection to make it more accessible. Potential impacts include increased library use, greater campus unity, and readiness for a future as a 1:1 school.
