Upper School Library
Overview
The Upper School Library provides diverse spaces for activities that reflect the range of intellectual and social pursuits of the Key School community. A fireplace, a glass-enclosed reading porch, and individual study carrels invite both collaborative work and quiet reflection, yet the space is easily transformed for town meetings, coffee houses and poetry readings. The Upper School Library is truly the heart of the Upper School, a space that nourishes the growth of the School community.
