In designing the renovation, our library team—Kate Hall, Head Librarian, Jennifer Succi, Librarian, Kyle Sumrow, Director of Educational Technology, and Jay Berckley, Dean of Arts and Innovation—wanted to let as much natural light into the space as possible and make the library flexible for different kinds of learning. They wanted to move beyond a library being a place that shelves books and instead creates a space for learning, thinking, reading, and studying. “We envision it becoming the beating heart of the Episcopal campus, bustling with energy and activity throughout the day,” said Sumrow. Some of the many services offered at the library are eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines. Jay Berckley adds, “We are thrilled to be part of this special moment in the history of Episcopal High School, and especially this next chapter in our celebration of the Underwood Library. The leading vision of our Board of Trustees, Head of School Ned Smith, and the wide range of stakeholders who helped develop our strategy has been unified from the start, uniformly aimed at renovating this magical space, all while keeping the spirit of community, teaching, and learning, and creating a welcoming space to explore and develop ideas at the heart of the EHS experience.”
