Manning Library opened its doors in late August donning a fresh new look following an extensive summer renovation.

It was decided to renovate Manning Library when plans were made to perform required structural work on Manning Hall. As a result, the library now has a tray ceiling, new carpeting, fresh paint and new lighting, all creating a much more inviting space.

"When students enter for the first time, they all mention how the space has been enhanced." says middle school librarian, Katherine Hopkins. Both Katherine and upper school librarian, Lynn Barron, agree. "The library now has presence!"

As a testament to the renovations and the collections, the library has been booked for classes every day since it opened. For more information about Manning Library, the renovations, and/or its collections contact Lynn Barron or Katherine Hopkins at (803) 776-0295.
