LIBRARY REMODEL

The Enochs High School library has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a warm, inviting, and dynamic environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and connection. Thanks to funding provided by MCS bond money, our library now features modernized furniture, including soft seating for individuals and groups, new booths, and tables designed to encourage collaboration. These upgrades create an inspiring atmosphere where students can comfortably read, complete homework, interact with peers, tutor one another, study, and simply relax and chat with friends.

This modernization project was driven by a vision of each librarian to create a space that meets the needs of today’s students, who require flexible, functional, and engaging environments to thrive academically and socially. The opportunity to secure bond funding and channel it toward library improvements was a much-needed investment in spaces that students use daily and rely on as a central hub for learning and collaboration. Now that the work is complete, we are immensely proud of the new space and excited about its potential to positively impact students and staff. The library has become a vibrant center for academic and social activities, reflecting the evolving needs of our school community. These changes contribute to a more collegiate atmosphere, which is particularly important for our students. By creating a space that mirrors the environments they may encounter in higher education, we prepare them for future academic and professional settings while promoting independence, responsibility, and self-directed learning.

We love that our vision has been made a reality and hope staff and students recognize the library as a space designed for them—a place where they are welcomed, supported, and inspired to explore new ideas, connect with others, and pursue their goals. It’s not just a library--it’s a community space that reflects the value we place on learning, creativity, and inclusion. This transformation is a testament to the power of investing in our student’s future, and we hope it inspires continued support for maintaining and enhancing spaces that serve as vital resources for our schools. ENJOY!
