Take a look at how you can help during Love Your Library Month.

Love Your Library month kicks off September 1 – September 30th.  This is a special month of giving back to your library and celebrating our role in the community!  All donations qualify for a  pro-rated match through the generous Jack Buncher Foundation.   This is an important partnership with the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, ACLA and our fellow libraries across Allegheny County.  What makes this particular month most critical in our fundraising efforts is that we expect to lose approximately $15,000 in Regional Asset District funding, through no fault of our own, but a change in the current funding formula.  It’s a head scratcher that will likely be compounded annually.  Help us keep our head above water and continue our facility work, quality programs and awesome staff.  Thank you for your friendship and support.
