FRANK SARRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY EDUCATION FOR ALL A message from Peggy Tseng, Library Director 2017 is upon us, and the Frank Sarris Public Library is looking forward to a year full of exciting opportunities. The library is located at the corner of North Jefferson Avenue and Murdock Street in the heart of Canonsburg. Our operating hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 2016, the Library installed a new circulation desk and purchased furniture to enhance a “community living room” experience for users. We have Peggy Tseng, created an all-inclusive, safe and friendly environment, and a unique Library Director forum for social networking, book clubs, art classes and many other life-long learning opportunities for everyone. If you have not seen our facility or have not come in lately, I invite you to come in to visit us. If you would like to arrange for a tour of our facility, please call me at 724.745.1308 x2. I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2017. See you at the Library.
