Dear Friends,

The value a public library brings to its community is immeasurable. It’s a place where learning begins, imagination is encouraged and memories are created.

Thanks to you, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is investing in neighborhoods; helping our region’s children to learn and grow both in and out of the classroom; building a community of readers; inspiring and supporting job seekers, entrepreneurs and start-ups and encouraging social dialogue.

All of this is possible because people like you believe in and generously support Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

The following report is just a small snapshot of the many ways your support profoundly impacts our community and improves the lives of the people we serve.

Thank you for your commitment to literacy and learning.

This is your Library. We are stronger with you.

Lou Testoni Mary Frances CooperBoard Chair President & Director

In 2014, the Library reached more than 170,000 children through more than 7,700 programs offered in libraries and through outreach to early childhood centers, Head Starts, elementary schools and afterschool programs. Attendance at teen outreach programs grew by 70% in 2014, as library staff visited schools, afterschool programs and community events to connect underserved populations with library resources.

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a key community partner in education. Children and teens go to school ready to learn and succeed thanks to literacy programs, homework help and active learning experiences. Library staff bring expertise to partnerships and collaborations with preschools, schools and community learning initiatives, providing tools for children to learn independently and for families and caregivers to understand their roles in long-term education success. n

“It was a dream when we moved across the street from the Library. We come here six days a week. We love to play on the computers, use the tablets and check out books.”

— Theresa Brooks, mother of two CLP – Sheraden

“The Library gave me something to do. In Let’s Speak English class I made a lot of new friends and I connected to the community. It enriched my life in Pittsburgh.”

— Aoi Tobioka, visiting resident from Japan CLP – Main

The Library’s nine Let’s Speak English programs throughout the city give lingual minorities the opportunity to practice speaking English while connecting them with important Library and community resources. People can receive this help without restrictions, fees or waiting lists.

Each year, more than 2.9 million people visit Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s 19 locations, where they can learn, grow and transform their lives. The Library is investing in neighborhood buildings that are fully accessible to all, meet 21st century technology standards and offer flexible and welcoming spaces. Neighbors connect and engage with one another through Library programs and partnerships that encourage civic discourse and social interaction. Vibrant collections reflect unique neighbor-hoods, preserve heritage and build a community of readers. Library programs and services also extend beyond library walls and address the specific needs of special populations so that all people, regardless of their circumstances, can experience the benefits of the public library. n

Established in recognition of our long-time Library board member, the Frank J. Lucchino KIDS (Kids’ Initiative for Dynamic Success) Fund supports innovative ideas and pilot projects that help prepare Pittsburgh’s youngest children for school and life success.

A celebration recognizing Judge Lucchino’s passion for learning, his belief that education is the best antidote to the cycle of poverty and his transformative leadership on behalf of library services in Allegheny County was held on May 2.

Thanks to generous friends and family, the event raised more than $264,000 for the endowed fund.
