Why does a school library need seating?

A school library is more than just a place to store books (although that's important too) - it's the real heart of the school. When you add in some decent seating, you're turning a corridor into a destination that people actually want to go to.

That kind of seating helps the curriculum by giving people space to study on their own, read for fun or work on projects with their mates. Plus it makes people feel happy to be there.

If you've got flexible library seating, you can easily change the room around to suit whatever class is using it. This can be helpful for presentations, or when you need a space for a meeting.
