context_section_description: In summer 2015, the Sharpsburg Community Library, a branch of the Cooper-Siegel Library, reopened after a one-million dollar renovation funded through state grants and private donations.  The renovated library expanded its size and design, in addition to adding to its circulating collection.  The reopening was organized by Borough residents, the Sharpsburg council, and donations from various philanthropies.  For its design, the Library was awarded a 2015 Certificate of Merit from the American Institute of Architects Pittsburgh chapter.
  The Library is also home to the Sharpsburg Community Garden, which features numerous raised beds for residents to grow and nurture vegetable gardens.
