About
The Sharpsburg Community Library is a branch of the Cooper-Siegel Community Library offering a full range of library services: books and DVDs for all ages, computer access, WiFi, printing, faxing. Items from other libraries may be requested and picked up at the library. We also have a Little Free Pantry outside (stocked 3 times/week) and are Narcan certified. Visitors are invited to sit in the courtyard during the spring and summer, and families can play with the toys in the children’s room.
We present a variety of programs for all ages including storytimes, STEM, art, book clubs, art exhibits, and community dialogues. See the Event page for more details about programs or to register.
