The process to get my marriage license was pretty quick and easy. I was most recently there for a PBF promotion ceremony. The mayor was there and the ceremony was nicely done & a great way to honor our city's firefighters. It's a nice historical building with beautiful architecture.

This particular Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is located in Woods Run. Currently, this library is…read moreopen Monday through Saturday with daytime and some evening hours. The library is along a bus route and has a free parking lot. I visited this library one time on a weekday evening to access and search grants databases. Only one employee was working, and they had not even heard of the grants databases so could not assist me. I figured out the computers and software as best as I could on my own. The other customers here looked either like children who needed babysitting after school or homeless people. This library is sort of small, but I appreciated its public computers, free wi-fi, printing and copying for a fee, and meeting room. Update: For the grants databases, I attended a virtual meeting with a librarian from the downtown Carnegie Library, and she told me that I was not even signed into the full versions of the software at the Woods Run library! The Woods Run employee should have signed me in with a username and password. I apparently accessed only the free versions that I could have accessed at home! I recommend that the Woods Run employees receive some training about their database products.

This library is on the smaller side but staff does a great job at keeping it clean and organized…read more It has great natural lighting so if you want to hang out and read or do work this is a great spot.

This is such an incredibly cool space! I've been here to use…read morethe library, to attend performances, to participate in performances and attend special events in the event space. All of the experiences have been wonderful. The library portion is fantastic. A large kids section with friendly and helpful librarians, a great area (with a fireplace!) to relax, computers and an overall great selection of books. The music hall portion is wonderful as well. Seats are pretty comfortable with a decent amount of room and you can see well from basically anywhere in there. The backstage area has two large dressing rooms with lighted mirrors. The only downside is that there is fairly limited parking, so if you are attending an event, you need to get there early enough to grab a spot or hope for nearby street parking.

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.

A fairly tiny library, but it is still packed with a lot of great choices for readers of all ages!…read moreThis library is located in the municipal complex for the town of Trafford. They have more limited hours than a lot of other libraries, so make sure you check the schedule before stopping by. They do offer the typical library amenities - books, magazines and other media you can check out, computers you can use and a children's room. They also offer a small amount of programming such as summer reading and occasional author events. Don't fear the small size! If you want something they don't carry, they can order it for you from another library and have it delivered there. And you can return it right to them as well! Staff is friendly and loves to help patrons find the perfect book for them. It is nice to have a smaller, less intimidating and busy place in the area.

I was on the Board here years ago. It's a fabulous resource for children and families…read more One aspect is a shared play space where families can meet other families in an educational play space. The other side is the library, which loans toys to children to take home. It's a wonderful idea, as children don't always play with all their toys, this is a great way to recycle those toys and put them to good use. The toys are often better quality and educational value than the ones in stores. I especially love the handmade toys, they are wonderful. If you are looking for a place to donate toys, this is a great choice. Those toys will get used by hundreds of children. Same with the donation of money, they stretch their resources a long way.
