Cranbury needs a new public library.

CPL Foundation Case for Support

There is a pressing need. There is evidence of the need. There are benefits to the community.

Let me count the ways! There are people who can make it

happen.

CPL FoundationCase for Support

There is a need. Current school/public library not meeting

divergent requirements More space required for comprehensive

resources and services

CPL FoundationCase for Support

Evidence of the need Programming limited by available space Groups turned away due to limited space School restricts access during school

hours Resource acquisition impinged

CPL FoundationCase for Support

Benefits to the Cranbury Community A welcoming community “living room”

for all ages Encourage reading & life-long learning

outside of school Cranburians will stay in town Sustains small town feel and

independence Proven enhancement to property values

CPL FoundationCase for Support

People who can make it happen Excellent library staff Committed Library Board of Trustees and
