We will place a strong emphasis on the specific needs of English Learners and students from a low socioeconomic background when allocating technological resources.
We will promote client engagement through programs and events which will increase student and community involvement in the library, particularly for certain subgroups.
We will create an outdoor library garden area in order to teach students sustainable gardening practices and provide students with a relaxing and open-air space to enjoy reading.
