We are Torrance and we Shout Out Hailey Giczy! Hailey transformed an ordinary outdoor space at the Katy Geissert Civic Center Library into a vibrant play area for the community. She dedicated countless hours to measuring, designing, and carefully installing interactive games that became a hit with both children and adults. Even after the tape faded, visitors continued to jump, spin, and hopscotch their way to the library, inspired by her creative vision. Hailey saw potential where others saw a walkway. Instead of just passing by, she imagined something engaging, fun, and full of life. Her work perfectly reflects what a library should be—a place of spontaneous, self-directed, and joyful learning. #TeamTorrance #WeAreTorrance #TorranceCA
