Cuddle Time for the Very Young

Every Thursday from 11 until 11:30 a.m. children from birth to 2 years of age, can enjoy learning the rhythm and cadence of storybook language. This program is a great way to give little ones successful experience with books. Every child will need to be accompanied by an (adult) lap to cuddle on.

Stories for Toddlers

Tuesday mornings, youngsters aged 2 and up are invited to a story time plus a fun, educational, group activity. Please bring your child at 10 a.m. for more experience with book learning. Also, your library card will allow you and your young ones to select books to “borrow” and take home.

Afternoon for School Kids

Older children are invited to join with the children from Sisters’ Place for more adult-lead reading activities. The library offers these get-togethers every other Monday from 3:30 to 4 p.m. Inquire at the main desk for details or call 412-233-7966.

Book Clubs for Adults

Our library hosts two book clubs. The first is held on the second Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. The second club meets very third Monday at 9 a.m. Anyone interested in joining should stop in at the library to request a copy of this month’s book selection. Come, make friends, and have a stimulating chat along with coffee and goodies.

Let’s Play Board Games!
