The Library
Library

The Library is the custodian of the history of the island. As one of the only listed buildings found on the island when development first began, it was sensitively restored to showcase its original coral block walls and typical arched openings. Visual focus is drawn to the suspended anchor dating back to the 1800s, that was pulled out of the bay in front of the Library.
