When librarians Becca Isaac and Rebecca Webster set out to turn their library at Fauquier High School in Warrenton, VA, into a more inviting place, they started with the doors—they’re wide open. In between classes, you’ll often find one of the librarians standing outside, ready to greet students as they come in.
