Where Learning Grows is a visual celebration of curiosity, imagination, and the quiet joy that happens when a child discovers a book that speaks to them. This video highlights the small but powerful moments inside the media center: moments where students explore stories, connect with characters, and walk away with a renewed desire to read. My goal was to capture the wonder that fills the room when students realize reading isn't an assignment or obligation, but a doorway into new worlds. I want viewers to see how a single visit to the media center can spark a lifelong love of learning.

Creating this project has been meaningful to me because I was able to witness firsthand how transformative these spaces can be. Watching students' eyes light up as they chose books, shared discoveries with each other, and found stories that made them think or laugh reminded me why libraries matter. They are places of possibility like safe, welcoming environments where every child can find something that belongs uniquely to them. I am grateful to the students and staff who allowed me to capture these moments, and I hope this video encourages others to remember the magic that reading can bring into our lives.
