We will have a Native American Program. We are welcoming back Storyteller, Judy Seeley and her Tales from an Old Trunk. Carnegie Museum of Natural History will once again do a worthwhile program for us. A program about Safety will be taught by a Representative from the Trafford Fire Department. Our annual picnic will be at the BY Park in Trafford. At our picnic, Steve Haberman of “Haberman Magic,” will be Creative with Magic.

Westmoreland Library Network (WLN)
Trafford Community Public Library has joined with 20 other libraries in Westmoreland County to create the Westmoreland Library Network (WLN). As a result of the WLN project, you have access to materials from participating libraries through one on-line Catalog. You can search, place requests, have items sent to a library of your choosing, and keep a reading list.
The Westmoreland Libary Network is the result of a special project funded by Westmoreland Now and Forever Fund of the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County, the Richard King Mellon Foundation and a grant through Library Services and Technology Act of Pennsylvania.
Anyone can search our catalog on-line.
More advanced patron features require a library card number and password. You will soon be receiving a new WLN library card (like the one shown here), but until then, you can use your current library card. If you don't have one, see the librarian.
Ask Here PA - Questions on any topic
Don't search... Find. Connect online with a real librarian -- one-to-one in real-time -- for help with any topic or information need.
Now Available 24/7
Download best selling Audio Books, Music, and Videos 24/7 to your PC and PDA at home, in the office or from anywhere in the world. Now your library never closes! All you need is a valid library card number from a participating library.
You will need to use your new WLN library card number to login to the download page. If you haven't gotten you new card yet, be sure to see the librarian.

We are proud of our completely volunteer staff who are efficient in helping the library serve the community under the direction of Librarian Sharon Peacock. Some volunteers have served the library for over 20 years. The library has outreach to the community through shut-in service, children's services, and programs featuring local authors.
