 To facilitate language learning for our students and to enhance their understanding of Costa Rican and Latin American culture, each CPI campus has a library. The library offers a small but comfortable area where students can read, use the internet or study in a quiet atmosphere. A variety of books in both English and Spanish are available covering topics like: history, literature, grammar and poetry. A librarian is on hand to help in selecting a book, assisting with homework and in planning weekly activities (for example: making typical crafts, literature or current event discussions). Internet is available to students free of charge
