Join us Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. for a clothing sewing/mending workshop led by Maria, a local crafter with a love of slow fashion, thrifting, reuse, and repair.
Whether you want it to look low-key or bright and visible, this workshop will teach basics of functional fixes and mends to extend the life of your clothes. There will be an instructor to provide tutorials and guidance, a plethora of material (buttons, fabric scraps, thread), and some example mends to spark your creativity!
Please bring a current project or something you’ve been meaning to fix – a rip to mend, a hole to patch, or a broken seam to repair.
No experience is required, and all ages interested in sewing are welcome.

Join us September 24th at 2:00 p.m. when we discuss An American Childhood by Annie Dillard
A book that instantly captured the hearts of readers across the country, An American Childhood is Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Dillard’s poignant, vivid memoir of growing up in Pittsburgh in the 1950s and 60s.
Dedicated to her parents—from whom she learned a love of language and the importance of following your deepest passions—Dillard’s brilliant memoir will resonate with anyone who has ever recalled with longing playing baseball on an endless summer afternoon, caring for a pristine rock collection, or knowing in your heart that a book was written just for you.
Ask at the desk for a copy of this classic.

Beginning Sunday, September 1, 2024 Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County libraries are making the following changes to Libby and hoopla:
Please note that if you have more than 10 holds on digital items on September 1, you will not lose your holds. You just will not be able to add new holds until you are within the new holds limit.
While the vast majority of patrons will not be impacted by these changes, we know there will be interest in why we need to reduce holds and check-outs. Learn more about why this is happening and how you can be a good digital neighbor.
