Join the Friends!
The Friends of Cranberry Public Library are instrumental in providing financial and moral support to our library!
Did you know the Friends sponsored all of our 2018 programs for children, teens, & adults? They oversee fundraising events like our book sales and the wildly popular "Hot Dog Fridays." Without their generosity and hard work we would not be able to offer all of the programs and activities that we currently do! They've purchased the library's meeting room white boards, all of the Mazzoni Reading Garden furniture, and many other things that were not possible within the library's general operating budget. In addition, the Friends serve as vocal library ambassadors, sharing the library love out in our community!
With annual dues at only $5.00, you too can become a Friend of Cranberry Public Library.
