How Do I
Join the Conversation!
We need your help as we make decisions about the future of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
To date, we've held two sets of community workshops to discuss what can be done to ensure that the Library remains operationally and financially healthy. You can see the results of those workshops below.
Our next step is to use the feedback from the earlier workshops to present different strategies for the future. The more people involved, the more likely we are to have a strategy that best meets our community's needs.
Please take part in this FINAL SET of community workshops! Your perspectives and priorities are critical as we make decisions about the future.

This three-part community process is designed to engage the public, the Library staff, the Library Board of Trustees, and several other key stakeholders in an open and transparent discussion about the Library's future.
