ROSS TOWNSHIP ID CARD SYSTEM NORTHLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY KIOSK Please stop at the Community Center main desk to register for and receive your new Ross Community Center ID Card. Our new card system will allow us to track facility use, as well as maintain Emergency Contact information for individuals using our facility. For Ross residents, the card is free of charge. All others will pay a one-time $5.00 fee for the card. Did you know you can borrow items from Northland Public Library right at Ross Township’s Community Center?  The Kiosks, named NOMAD (which stands for Northland Offsite Modern Alternative Dispenser) contain children and adult books, CDs, and DVDs that can be checked out using any library card issued by Allegheny County. Patrons are also able to return Library items to the book drop conveniently located just outside the main entrance to the Ross Community Center. For information on how to use the NOMAD, please visit: www.northlandlibrary.org/nomad-vending-kiosks/ OPEN GYM TIMES Please check our website at ross.pa.us for the most up-to-date schedule for open gym.
