Gobble up a good book at the Frank Sarris Public Library.

Effective Monday, November 2, the library will change over to our winter hours which are Monday & Tuesday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Wednesday & Thursday 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., and Friday & Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Our Murdock Street Parking Lot WiFi hours will be Monday - Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Friday & Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Please share our new hours with family and friends.

With the falling temperatures outside, we have dropped the prices of some of our used books.  Hardbacks are $1/ea., paperbacks and children’s board books are $.50/ea., DVDs are $1 and a bag of books is $5/bag.  We also have puzzles on sale - $1/puzzle, while they last. Find something new to enjoy!

Grab and go bags for our November Family Story Times may be picked up during library operating hours starting October 31 and will be available while supplies last.

The Frank Sarris Public Library is proud to announce that we are now a year round collection site for the Canonsburg-Houston Food Pantry.  Library visitors may drop off donated non-perishable items in our collection box inside the main entrance.  Monthly, donated items will be given to the Canonsburg-Houston Food Pantry to support residents within our communities.

The FSPL Teen Advisory Board (grades 7-12) meets monthly to plan, organize, and lead activities that will engage and benefit members of the community.
