Fullerton College Library

Help us re-design a library corner

We would like to re-imagine the space behind the library’s reference desk to help students feel a greater sense of belonging on campus. Currently, it is filled with bookshelves, but we want to take those out. Think about what could replace those bookshelves: More seating? Better group-work space? More plants? More student art?
 
Don’t worry about how it would happen or how much it would cost. We just want to know what we can do with the space to help you be more successful and feel like you belong in college.

Our favorite 2 ideas will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. Ideas will be judged by the library’s Wayfinding Committee. Winners will be notified by email first week of May.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I know if I got a gift card?

We hope to review all submissions and have our top picks ready by the first week of May.

How can I submit my ideas?

Please use the First-Floor Ideas form. Please describe your idea as best as you can. 

Can I submit more than one idea?

Yes. You can submit more than one idea, but we will only give one gift card per person.

If the library likes my idea, does that mean you’ll make it happen?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will implement any of the submitted ideas due to various practical and monetary considerations. But, we may take inspiration from any submissions.

Which area of the library are you looking to redesign?

The area on the first-floor behind the “Reference Desk”. From the front doors, head to the right of the staircase to find the Reference Desk. Behind it is a space filled with short bookshelves. That’s the area we are thinking to change.

Why are you looking to change this space?

That area is filled with books that are not often used. We think that there is an opportunity to move those books to a different location and use that space for something else.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

Please write to Anya Shyrokova at ashyrokova@fullcoll.edu.
