Forging Ahead:
Here We Grow Again
If you've been into the Library recently you've likely noticed that we're well on our way with preparations for our construction and renovation project.
We anticipate that construction will start in August and be complete by March. After that we'll be busy stocking the space with equipment and starter supplies, as well as training staff and volunteers on use of the equipment and the rules & regulations for running the space.
Making a makerspace is a lot of work, but we're optimistic that our makerspace, which we're calling The Forge @ Cranberry Library, will be up and running by mid-spring of 2020.
In the meantime, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we Forge Ahead with creating a better library here in Cranberry Township!
