New at Homestead

We now have Playaway pre-loaded audio players! These portable players have audiobooks loaded on them. All you have to do is plug in a set of headphones and start listening to the latest Daniel Silva novel, or learn Italian with Italian for Dummies. Check one out today!

We have a new staff member starting this week. LaMonica recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Master of Library Science.

Ghost Hunters Screening at the Library!

Ready for a true Pittsburgh-style haunting? The Carnegie Library of Homestead is featuring a special preview screening of a new "Ghost Hunters" episode called "Ghost of Carnegie" on Saturday, October 29.
Previously aired on the Scfy channel on September 20th, this is a unique opportunity to see it where it happened. The episode, which airs again on the SyFy Channel (Channel 680 on Verizon) at 11 a.m. on Halloween day -- Monday, October 31 -- follows the Ghost Hunters crew as they explore the Library and Music Hall in the middle of the night, and encounter disembodied voices shouting frantically, doors mysteriously closing, books moving by themselves on the Library shelves and the voices of ladies giggling in the basement locker room long after everyone has gone home.

Two screenings will be offered Saturday night, a matinee for families at 4 p.m. and an "after dark" 7 p.m. show.
Special tours of the Library basement, locker rooms, Music Hall and other sites of reported hauntings at the Carnegie Library will take place after the screenings.
Cookies and refreshments for kids will be served, and wine and beer will be available for adults.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and will be available at the door.
Wear your costume for more fun!!
