FRANK SARRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY
EDUCATION FOR ALL
A message from

Library Director
Building Strong

Communities –

Library Matters
Can you believe another year is drawing to a close?
Once again, on behalf of Frank Sarris Public Library, I would
like to thank the Canonsburg community for continuing
to support our institution. Whether it’s checking out the
latest bestsellers, hosting an event in our meeting rooms,
or enjoying one of our events, we could not provide the
Peggy Tseng,
Library Director
best possible service to the community without your
involvement.
2020 is promising to be an eventful year. I’m excited to announce that Bigfoot is
coming back with a new name to Frank Sarris Public Library! Bigfoot Crossing at FSPL
will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2020. Join us as we welcome researchers and
authors Doug Waller and Stan Gordon. Doug Waller is from the Southeastern Ohio
Society for Bigfoot Investigation. Stan Gordon is scheduled to present a fascinating
lecture called, “Strange Encounters of Pennsylvania.”
As a winter weather reminder, when there is snow and ice
on the ground and Canon-McMillan School District has issued
a two-hour delay, Frank Sarris Public Library will open at noon.
We do this with the safety of our patrons and staff in mind, and
we thank you for your understanding. If the weather is being
particularly inhospitable, but you have items to return, don’t
worry. Items can be renewed via franksarrislibrary.org or call
our main circulation desk at 724.745.1308 ext. 1.
Have a safe and fantastic new year! I’ll see you around town.
