Mending Workshop

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.

Love Your Library Month

Happy Love Your Library Month!

Love Your Library

Since 2016, the Jack Buncher Foundation has provided the Allegheny County libraries with a $200,000 match pool to facilitate fundraising in September.  This gift has grown into Love Your Library month, an annual fundraising event.  Last year, your generosity helped us raise almost $5000.  Thanks to the Buncher Foundation’s match pool we received an additional $1500!  The more money we raise, the more money the Buncher Foundation will match.

There is no better time to donate, thanks to the Buncher Foundation.  No amount is too small, and every bit helps!   Donate today
