Meet Ms. Janae
 Our new Youth Services Teen Librarian may look familiar. That's because Ms. Janae Smith has been working at the library, on and off, since she was in high school.
Janae actually started volunteering at the library when she was 14 years old and was hired on as a Library Page when she became old enough. She stayed on at the library during part of her college years and was promoted to Youth Services Clerk.
After receiving her undergraduate degree in Education with an emphasis on Library Science she went on to earn her master's degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh. While maintaining her part-time position at Cranberry Public Library Ms. Janae was also employed at Pine Richland High School as a Library Assistant.
Her goal was always to work as a full-time teen services librarian in a public library setting, so when the former Teen Librarian, Rachael Troianos, left to pursue a position out of state, Ms. Smith was ready to step into her very big shoes.
It hardly seems fitting to say "welcome" to Janae, so we'll wish her continued success here at Cranberry Public Library!
