They noticed that some classmates went home immediately because they did not know what they could do there besides borrowing books. The group therefore asked students and teachers for ideas before proposing any changes. The answers showed different needs. Some students wanted a quiet place to finish homework, while others preferred short activities in which they could discuss books or learn simple digital skills. Rather than choose only one type of activity, the group suggested using separate areas at different times. Quiet study would continue in the main room, and a smaller room would host discussions twice a week. The librarian agreed to try the plan for one month. Student volunteers made a clear timetable and placed it near the entrance. They also shared it through the school's usual information channel. During the trial, volunteers asked visitors which activities they used and whether the timetable was easy to understand. They did not collect visitors' names, because they only needed general feedback about the service. At the end of the month, more students were using the discussion room, but several said that the digital skills sessions ended too late for their buses. The group suggested moving these sessions earlier instead of adding more sessions immediately. The librarian accepted this change and asked the volunteers to review it again after a few weeks. The project did not require a new building or expensive equipment. Its main contribution was to connect existing resources with students' needs. By listening, trying a limited change and checking the results, the group found a practical way to improve the library without assuming that the first plan would suit everyone.
