The NBPS Digital Library is designed to be a cornerstone of education and empowerment, serving over 1,000 pupils currently enrolled at the school and the broader Nyahururu community.
With a projected cost of 70 million Kenya shillings, (approximately 700,000 USD), this ambitious project signifies a commitment to providing the best possible educational tools and resources to students and the community, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in the digital era.

His sentiments were echoed by Miss Magdalene Wanjugu the project lead, who added that the NBPS Digital Library has employed a modern technology system of learning which in turn will empower the learners to compete and thrive in a globalized world as per the government's agenda of digital superhighway.
The learners on their side could not hide their joy noting a significant change in learning experience, as they will be getting revision materials digitally thereby going paperless.
