    Central Library

      

    Central Library is, in many ways, the heart of Central High School.  Central Library leads PXU in both print and digital (e-books & audiobook) circulation. We strive to assemble the best collection possible for staff and students.  In addition to promoting reading, we also teach students how to conduct research, a prerequisite skill for students wanting to go to college.  We are constantly striving to improve our service for staff and students.
