Kongoni Community Library is the first of its kind within the Sub-County to promote education performance of student and reading culture for the community. The USA-based NGO, American Friends of Kenya (AFK Inc.), an organization that aims to promote literacy and the culture of reading among communities in Kenya, was the first to support this project through the donation of books, shelves and other logistics. These items have gone towards partial support to the library.
The Library has three main functions, firstly, is to provide information to those individuals responsible for rural development programs through a Community Library Management Committee (CLMC). These individuals are responsible for interlinking the library to the community and also addressing social and development problems the specific area they originate from as well as bringing feedbacks. Secondly, the library supports rural education programs, including adult literacy classes and rural schools and lastly, the library serves as a center for community education and culture.
