Forge Ahead: Library Makeover
2019 CTCC Project of the Year
Cranberry Public Library is excited to have been chosen as the Cranberry Township Community Chest's 9th Annual Project of the Year!
The project will be the largest ever for CTCC, with an estimated price tag of $750,000. The scope of the project can be summarized in four parts.
1. Makerspaces have become all the rage in schools over the past decade. Think of them as small workshops, outfitted with tools ranging from high tech to no tech at all. What they share in common are work areas designed for collaboration and equipped for making things in a hands-on learning environment. It's an idea which has gone outside of classrooms to include private makerspaces, foundation supported shops, commercial prototyping studios, and now our very own public library!
2. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology will be implemented to assist with more reliable and faster checkouts.
3. American Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility will help eliminate difficulties of entering and exiting the library by the installation of automatic sliding doors. In addition, specialized programming within the new makerspace will be adapted for an all-inclusive environment serving the needs of all abilities.
4. Energy and environmental improvements form the installation of new energy efficient LED lighting, light enhanced painting, environmental friendly carpeting and an improved ergonomics layout that will include updating the staff area will be the final part of the project.
There is no asset used more in our community by everyone from the very young to seniors than our library. We're looking forward to forging ahead!

Mindfulness Painting
Tuesday, August 14 @ 6PM
The purpose of mindfulness painting is not to create a work of art; rather, to allow the rhythmic movement of the brush to serve as a moving meditation. The lights are low, soft music plays, and aroma-therapeutic oils are diffused. This class is a safe place where there is no judgment and no expectation. Canvas and paints provided, but there is a $5.00 materials fee, payable at the program. Class size is limited and registration is required.
6th Annual Touch-a-Truck
Wednesday, August 11 from 11AM-1PM
Back by popular demand, it's our biggest event of the year! Kids of all ages are welcome to explore trucks and vehicles of all kinds at Cranberry Community Park. No registration required. Rain or shine.

"There's nooooo doubt about it," you'll want to be here to welcome Pittsburgh sports casting legend, Mr. Lanny Frattare. Mr. Frattare will share stories of his time as a Pittsburgh Pirates announcer as well as what he's up to these days. Registration is required for this program.
