Seely Place Library Renovation

In the 2020-2021 school year, the Edgemont School Foundation granted a library renovation to the Seely Place School. During the height of the pandemic the students were not able to use the library, but it is now open and students are checking out books during their Library time. Please see the transformation from unpacking boxes to creating a cozy reading corner.
