We Have Plants!
The Library is extremely lucky to have huge windows that
afford wonderful vistas – the Quadrangle on one side of the space, and Number
One Oval on the other. We often see students look up from their work to gaze
out the window at the green expanse before them. This makes us very happy!
Studies have shown that feeling connected to nature, which can come simply from
looking at a natural landscape or, in this case, a beautifully kept playing
field, relieves stress and boosts concentration. This is why the Library has
brought more of the outside into the space with some potted plants by Polly and
the Wren. We hope they provide some of the aforementioned benefits, or at least
make students and teachers very happy too!
