Smith Library Glen

The Smith Library Glen is located in the grounds adjacent to the Williams Library Discovery Center and the original Lowrey Lower School building. It is designed to offer students a beautiful environment of trees, colorful plants, reading nooks, gentle shades, open green spaces, and performance vistas. In the evenings, it will be lighted. The Glen is designed to invite students and the community to activities such as storytelling, small group meetings, musical performances, individual reading class gatherings, speakers and other productions.
