About Central Community Library:

Central Community Library first opened its doors in 1971. Opened for business on January 21, 1971. For many years Central Library served as the headquarters location for library administration and technical services. On February 26, 1968, Roger J. Costello, Mayor of Manassas Park, offered the Library Board a gift from the town of Manassas Park of approximately six acres and $100,000 to build a library between Parkside Elementary/Middle School and Route 28. The library is 23,000 square feet and houses 194,356 volumes.

The building features a Community Room, a Computer Lab (the Computer Connection @ Central), a Periodicals Room, and a children's area. Central provides materials for adults, children and young adults, as well as providing programming for both children and adults.
