The Smythe Gambrell Library - Elementary School

In the fall of 1997, Love Hall was completed on the site of the old Woodruff Hall. Our new 72,000-square-foot building houses the newest version of the Smythe Gambrell Library.

Today our library encompasses a 9,369-square-foot area with approximately 38,500 printed materials and 1,900 audio visual materials, a separate enclosed "story well," a seminar room that seats 20, 3 librarians' offices, a volunteer workroom, 1 classroom that seats 8, and a small professional library for faculty use. For student use, 11 pc platform computers are available and students have access to the internet under our Acceptable Use Guidelines. Our library was designed by Pauline H. Anderson, a library design consultant of national repute.

We frequently host visitors looking to improve or expand their current libraries. We are truly proud of our Smythe Gambrell Library and we invite you to schedule a tour with us and share in our enjoyment of this outstanding resource.
