Celebrate one of Homewood’s shining cultural lights, the neighborhood library. on its 110th birthday. The evening includes music by Stem Tech, hors d’oeuvres and literary conversation.
Homewood began in the 1830s as a wealthy neighborhood, with several mansions and other stately homes. Over time, the rich moved on as working class people — most notably African-Americans —- arrived.
Established in 1890 through a gift by industrialist Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), the Carnegie is Pittsburgh’s public library system with 19 branches scattered throughout the city. This library is one of the neighborhood’s shining lights, a handsome structure of brick and stone that first opened in 1910. A historic landmark, the library has been upgraded many times and includes valuable facilities such as computer stations, meeting rooms and a healthy collection of literature.
Presented by the United Black Book Clubs of Pittsburgh, an association of librarians, readers and book clubs promoting literary activities and events. For more information, call (412) 540-5318.
