CPI Library
 To facilitate second language learning for our Spanish students and enhance their understanding of the Costa Rican and Latin American culture, each CPI campus provides a library service. The libraries offer a small but comfortable area where students may find a peaceful oasis to read, use the internet or study. There is a wide selection of books in English and Spanish covering various topics, such as: history, literature, grammar, and poetry. The helpful librarian is available to a id in book selection, assistance with homework and also plans a weekly activity, for example: typical craft class, literature or current event discussions. High speed internet is available for students at a reduced rate compared to local internet cafes.
