Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Homewood

Gorgeous building with nice old architecture too gawk at. Inside the library is divided into 3 spaces. The one I spent the most time I was the kids selection which had a selections of puzzles out that I think rivaled the squirrel hill library. In addition to the puppets, legos, marble game (to name a few) there were ipads with games loaded on to them for younger kids. The staff was all very friendly and all three little ones I was with got Christmas presents from Santa's little helper, the librarian. They were a selection of age appropriate books on kindness caring and a comic type chapter book for the oldest. So very surprised by that and really happy we finally stopped in.

Pim had such a wonderful time! We will be back soon! The children's librarian was so excited for her on her adventures to see all the libraries and Pim enjoyed painting and crafting and playing with toys!

Such a great place to go to get the books that you need and want. If it's not there Ray or Denise will gladly order it for you. Also great place to go to just sit and be quiet and read. It's now open so if you have a small group that you need to have a meeting place for there's usually a area in the library where you can meet with them. Stop by and enjoy the great experience Interested in a senior reading group feel free to stop by the library in Homewood and tell him that I sent you

Great facility. The basement auditorium is great for these types of public meetings. It is wired for sound, has a stage, and a audio control booth. Of course the library is one of the things that makes Pittsburgh great. Never need to buy a book again.

Thanks to Andrew Carnegie and Pittsburgh's love of art, these library/theater venues are more like neighborhood civic centers. Where art, knowledge, creativity and the exchange of ideas, work in these buildings for the good of the communities they serve.
