The November/December 2025 newsletter from Sentry Custom Security features the unique Water Tank Library in Muthuini, Kenya, as well as a chance to win a $5,000 gift certificate.

From Sentry Custom Security:

Humidity is a common problem for many libraries. Too much humidity and the books could be ruined by growth of mold. So you might think humidity would be a problem for a library in an old water tank. Not so for this library, it's as dry as a bone inside!

Nope... dry as a bone! The Water Tank is a gift of charity and ingenious engineering. Located in the area of Muthuini, Kenya.
