teen area seating suggestions?
by Kristy Zeluff 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

We need to replace our teen area seating - we have been planning on bean bag chairs, but I am concerned about some of our more robust teens struggling with them. Does anyone have recommendations? We don't have much of a budget to work with. Thanks! Kristy Kristy Zeluff, Children's Librarian Vicksburg District Library 269-649-1648 kzeluff(a)vicksburglibrary.org
