In the library, students can choose from multiple comfy chairs to relax while reading a book. With the organized shelves, readers can easily find books. These specific shelves house fantasy books.

The library has many places to sit, but this particular space is for students who are stressed and overwhelmed; in need of a space to unwind and relax. This space is the “Zen Den” and was designed by governor school student and senior, Cason Dulaney. In this relaxed place students can rest, read, do a puzzle, or look at the items placed on the shelves.

Every row of books is carefully organized to make sure that anyone can find the exact book they are looking for. These shelves have books about recreation, social science, science, and health. The shelf with the recreation books and science books showcase a small area on top of the shelf that has books for foreign language speakers or students who are interested in learning a language. This area has books in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, French, and Japanese.
