The McMillan Memorial Library is the second oldest in Kenya.
It opened in 1931 but it was segregated for the use of only white people until 1962.
The Book Bunk Trust is restoring and digesting library archives to help teach the younger generation about history in Kenya.
BBC Africa were shown how personal stories of Kenyans are being restored.
