The library is collecting new and gently-used books throughout January.
After learning of Slippery Rock University Professor Alice Del Vecchio’s efforts to honor the children and teachers who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School Dec. 14 with the "We Can Read!" book drive, Leslie Pallotta knew it was the perfect project for the Cranberry Public Library, and its patrons, to participate in. “We sort of have an embarrassment of riches with people donating to us,” Pallotta, the library’s director, said. “This is just a way for us to share with others.” Throughout January, donations of new and gently-used children's books may be dropped off in one of the “Cranberry Cares” bins located inside the Cranberry Township Municipal Center on Rochester Road. By Valentine's Day, the books will be distributed to children in …

Back again for the popular library program, the sisters have been featured on A&E’s Psychic Investigators show.
New York may have “Long Island Medium” Theresa Caputo, but Butler County has the Vincent sisters, a pair of psychic investigators who’ve been featured on the A&E Biography Channel. “We’re actually better than the Long Island Medium,” said Suzanne Vincent. Along with her sister, Jean McKenzie Vincent, Vincent will be appearing at the Cranberry Public Library at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 to talk about the unsolved cases they’ve worked on and to do a few psychic readings on members of the audience. “Last year, we picked five people and did readings,” Vincent said. “Everyone said it was very, very accurate.” Attendees also are encouraged to bring unusual photos for the sisters to examine. In addition to doing psychic investigations, the sisters …

More than 1,300 are waiting to borrow a copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey."
If you are looking for a copy of the steamy trilogy, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” don’t bother going to the Cranberry Public Library, or any library in Butler or Allegheny County for that matter. “Nobody in the county has it on their shelf,” said Sandra Collins, executive director of Northland Public Library in McCandless. The book is quite popular, particularly among women. Despite its popularity, public libraries in several states have banned the books, saying they are either too sexually explicit, or too poorly written. In Fond du Lac, Wis., the library did not order any copies, saying the books did not meet the standards of the community. In Georgia, the Gwinnett County Public Library, near Atlanta, declined to make the books available …
The books are available for download on the library website.
