Cranbrook Public Library

The Cranbrook Public Library opened its door on July 4, 1925, meaning we are turning 100! It is not so much a celebration of us, but a celebration of you—and everyone who has used the library during the past century.  Congratulations to all of us!

The next book sale for the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library is fast approaching. It will be in the Manual Training School adjacent to the Library. Friday, June 6 is for Friends Members only from 3pm to 5 pm. Sat. June 7th everyone is welcome from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There are loads of books for all ages, puzzles, magazines, DVDs and Audiobooks. Cash or cheque only. This is the last sale until the fall so come in and find your summer reading!

Donations for this sale can be dropped off at the Welcome Desk in the Library anytime. Items in good condition are appreciated and magazines must be published within the last two years.

All proceeds support programs and services at the Cranbrook Public Library.

Have you joined our 2025 Reading Challenge? We’re challenging all Cranbrook Citizens to read 10 books this year!

Grab a 2025 Reading Challenge Bookmark from the Welcome Desk and read 10 items of any genre, format (yes, audiobooks count) and fill in the title on the back of the bookmark. Once your bookmark is complete drop it off at the Welcome Desk to be entered for a Cranbrook Public Library Swag Bag and other surprises during our CPL 100 Years of Stories Anniversary celebration. If you like, grab another bookmark and start again!
