Third FormMartin Henry Library
The SKS library is named after Martin A. Henry, who was the librarian who first championed the cause for a separate library building. The school's original library was located on the third floor of the Old Building. The library was dedicated on November 20, 1955, and the building opened a few months after that. It was formally named in Mr. Henry's honor in October 1986.
The South Kent Library contains roughly 10,000 volumes and subscribes to a variety of general and special interest periodical titles as well as electronic resources. The library’s DVD/Video collection is available to all faculty and students in support of academic research.
