Around the Library...

Pictures from around CLoH!Elevator Project! Not much to see right here, but digging has begun in the basement for our new elevator. Why do we need an elevator? Access to the pool and the Athletic Club!

The elevator will open up the entire building to people with mobility issues.

Have you ever noticed this sign on 10th ave? It commemorates the Olympic swimmers who trained in our Library's pool. Read more here.

The flowers are in full bloom in our garden.
Feel free to check out a book and relax on the bench.

The rooms are ready for all the activities this summer will bring!

The Adult Reading Program is BACK at CLoH!

We are once again offering a summer reading program for adults here at the library. This year we want you to “water your mind,” and add some books to your list of summer plans. The goal is for participants to read 20 books in the next few months, with a chance to enter a prize drawing after every two novels you finish. Sticking with the theme, and giving you even more chances to win, make one of those two books water related and get an additional entry into the drawing! There will be three different gift baskets filled with a ton of wonderful prizes, so stop by the circulation desk after June 19th to sign up for this fun opportunity!

River City Brass Band - This Thursday Night!

River City Brass Band presents a "preview" concert at the Carnegie Library of Homestead's Music Hall on April 29th. These concerts serve as a more informal "dress rehearsal" to which the community is invited. The Library was designed in the French Renaissance style and sits on a hillside overlooking the great expanse of the former location of Andrew Carnegie's Homestead Steel Works along the Monongahela River. This venue is handicapped accessible - however, there is limited wheelchair seating. This "preview" concert is a general admission event -- tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door the evening of the performance. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Purchase online here http://www.rcbb.com/buy_tix.php
