From 5:30 to 6 p.m., before the busier general session begins, kids in pre-K through fifth grade can try the library's gingerbread-themed STEAM activities in a quieter room in the library's Franklin Station meeting space. An adult must stay with each child, and every participant has to be registered individually; online registration opens December 1 at 8 a.m. and closes on December 14. The library is inside the Cranberry Township Municipal Center on Rochester Road, so parking and entry are the same as for the township building. ## Similar picks in Pittsburgh - [Sensory Friendly Time at the National Aviary](https://grassyknees.com/pittsburgh/activities/sensory-friendly-time-at-the-national-aviary--listing-250be4c302c7867ad06d0c14) — Wed, Nov 11 (+1 more date) · National Aviary · sensory-friendly · checked Oct 14.
