We receive funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the State Aid Library Subsidy enacted in the Public Library Code. Each year we apply for funding and prove our eligibility to ensure our library meets the State’s standards for quality and excellence.
Andrew Bayne Memorial Library is proud to be supported by the taxpayers of Allegheny County through a public grant from the Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD). For the past 30 years, RAD has invested in Allegheny County’s quality of life through financial support of public libraries, parks & trails, regional attractions, arts & cultural organizations, sports & civic facilities, public transit, and local municipal services with revenue from an additional, countywide one percent sales and use tax. Since its inception, RAD has resulted in over $5 billion invested in the region. Visit radworkshere.org for more information.
As part of the Parks and Recreation department we are governed by the Borough of Bellevue Council and supported by our local taxpayers.
