After returning to Webb from February break, students and faculty were pleasantly surprised to see that the Fawcett Librarys old furniture has been replaced with new, modern-looking ones. With brand new couches, tables, desks, chairs, and booths, the library now has more seating for students to hangout, socialize, do homework, or work on group projects together. It also has created a more inviting environment for students to feel more comfortable in the library.
