Library Seating Request
The SVdP Library is looking to expand its seating selection for students. Before purchasing new flex seating options, however, we’d like to get a sense of what kind of flex seating our students prefer. We’re currently searching for Bilibo seats, stability discs, and foam wedges. If you have any of these seats lying around your home, and are willing to loan them for a period of trial, please contact Mrs. Edmonds at bedmonds@svdpk8.com. Thank you!
