What's New?
 
Electronic Catalog! Thanks to the genorosity of the Waterloo Community School District, Central now has software that allows us to provide an electronic card catalog.  We are very happy to provide this new product to our students, teachers and families.  On the down side, every book ever added to the catalog is in this sytem so bear with us while we delete books that have been withdrawn and disposed of over the past 20+ years as well as remark all of the lost books.  We also will be working very hard to get searchable records so you can search by keywords, not just title and author.  We ask for your patience while we remain open and catalog 9,000+ books that are in the collection.
 
Central Magazine Now Available Here!
Central Hands At Work is a literature and art magazine that showcases the talented students at Central.  It was such a popular magazine that all 550 copies have been grabbed up.  If you would like an electronic copy, please e-mail your teacher-librarian and you will recieve it as an attachment.  Please put "magazine" in the subject line.
