The library is one area students love, they spent their time in private reading, surfing in computers and reading news papers. The library is located in a conducive environment and is adequately equiped with books that are concurrent with the syllabus.
Plans are underway to computerize the library and to increase the books to cater for the ever rising demand. The library is run by devoted and well trained staff members Rose kosgei, Harun Kimosop and Lucy with the help of a very committed and passionate library council.
I would like to thank the Rita and Charles Marsham foundation for the continued support and refurbishments of the library. The current improved interest in reading among our students can be attributed to the foundations varied stock of books, which has really stimulated interest in various topics.
