Wow. WAY better than I expected! It looks pretty plain and small on the outside, but it's…read moresurprisingly large inside with two floors! The top floor has all the books that you'd expect to find in a library, whereas the bottom floor houses more activities and performance areas. The books on the top floor are all arranged by topic, so historical books are in one area, young adult in another, etc. Makes it really easy to find what you're looking for! There are plenty of study spaces and cozy corners to curl up with a book or laptop. I love how it's spaced out enough without making you feel too isolated from your fellow library visitors. Just be aware that there aren't a ton of outlets, but there are charging stations located throughout the facility, each with a variety of different chargers for phones and computers. Makes you feel pretty well taken care of! I absolutely loved visiting this library and I hope to come back again soon!

So thankful for contactless pickup during the pandemic…read more Requesting and picking up books has made me the happiest person! With the online platform, it's simple to request books and check their transit status. Once your books are ready for pickup, it's a quick e mail to the librarian who asks a time that works best for your pickup.

So welcoming, engaging, and filled with excellent reading options for all ages. The playroom and classroom space have reopened and many classes take place in the evenings for kids. The seek and find activity is a highlight for my kids. It changes daily and gives families a good reason to go back frequently to pick out new books.

They are extremely organized, friendly, and make connections with their frequent visitors. They sell Saris chocolate at the front for the same price as the grocery store, but proceeds benefit the library. They have a ton of resources available to the public for free or very low cost. They have passes (mostly family) for a lot of local museums and historical sites. The parking lot is massive and somewhat recently paved. The hours are friendly to most schedules and the drop box is always available for returns when they're closed.

Great library with wonderful programs! Cafe, small and large meeting g rooms and an outdoor patio.read more

I couldn't imagine walking up the street or steps from the main street in Carnegie to the Library…read more Let's hear it for automobiles. Built high on the hill, I am sure it witnessed a lot of Pittsburgh history. The kind staff allowed us to see the theater. It is very similar to Carnegie Library of Homestead. The lower level seats have been adopted and refurbished with nice padding. The Library is still raising funds to refurbish the seats on the 2nd floor. The fireplace on the main floor of the Library is enormous from floor to ceiling (at least 20 ft ceilings). The Civil War Nurses exhibit brought us to the library. Very enjoyable. We will be back to experience other events at the Library and theater. Ample parking during Library hours. Not sure enough parking onsite for theater events. Street parking available.

It's like I'm in a rental video store, but wait all the DVDs are FREE (to borrow that is)! They have a great selection of DVDs and a decent selection of CDs. I definitely come here for their DVD selection. In terms of their books, I've always been able to find what I'm looking for. They have audio books available and various programs throughout the year. They also have an afternoon and evening book club. It's great in that the book selections are always diverse and they also provide you with a book to read if you don't already own it. I really like that part - b/c although I LOVE reading books, I'm not a fan of buying them b/c unless they become one of my favorites, I only read it once and then it sits around my room collecting dust and sadness. They have a great space and I think it's laid out pretty well. There are computers set up downstairs and upstairs for searches if you need to know where to look for materials. They also have an online systems that you can place "holds" on books, cds, and DVDs - it's like an Amazon.com but for FREE. Do you notice a reoccurring theme with me and FREE - I love Libraries!
