The aesthetically pleasing Campolindo High School Library, located at 300 Moraga Rd. in Moraga, recently had a milestone 50th anniversary.
Completed in 1971, by architects Rockwell & Banwell, who were responsible for many school structures throughout the state, it was rechristened The Irene Earl Library in honor of the first librarian in charge of the new facility.
Campo opened its doors in 1963, with the original library making its home in a classroom under the guidance of Librarian Suzanne Burrows. Today, it is run by Teacher-Librarian Sarah Morgan, Ed.S.
The present library has remained the same on the outside, but the interior has seen some changes. Gone are the study cubicles on the upper left side, having been replaced by an office area. Where once the check-out desk was located in the middle of the main floor level (supposedly for staff to keep an eagle-eye in both directions for shushing purposes), it has been relocated in front of the office area. The addition of ADA-compliant ramps and dozens of PC computers have brought the still beautiful library up to date with current regulations and modern-day necessities.
The wood-paneled walls still give off the same warm and cozy vibe that students have appreciated for decades. It is a haven for gossiping, studying or simply hanging out first thing in the morning before classes begin. If those walls could talk . I might even hear my own voice.
