The Kenston Forest School library serves all of our students, whether they be in Lower School or Upper School - all are welcome to come in to read and learn.

Serving the Lower School:

The Lower School Library is committed to instilling a love of learning in all students. We encourage children to love books and to love to read.

Serving the Upper School:

The mission of the Kenston Forest Upper School Library is to connect students with information at the point of need, encouraging students to access, evaluate, and synthesize information efficiently and effectively. Information Literacy is key to lifelong learning.

Technology:

The library includes a computer lab of 18 workstations. The library media center uses networked, automated circulation software. Four catalog stations are available for searching the library collection for that perfect book, for a research project or for entertainment.  The library media center is equipped with projectors, computers on wheels, and audio visual carts complete with VHS, DVD and television.
