Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Public Market – a Deliciously Useful Combination

Strip District shoppers and residents will have a new place to access free books and information. Starting Friday, April 15, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh will extend services to the Strip District’s Pittsburgh Public Market, becoming a part of the public market’s “fresh and delicious combination” of local artisans, farmers and bakers. The extended service pilot is part of the Library’s LYNCS (Libraries in Your Neighborhood Community and School) initiative.

Staffed by Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh librarians and graduate students from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Library & Information Science, the library services of LYNCS at the Pittsburgh Public Market (LYNCS: PPM) will provide customers with easy access to comprehensive library services during the weekend on their trips to the Strip’s great eateries and shops. Customers will be able to borrow materials from an on-site collection of materials, register for a library card, pick up or drop off library materials and access the Internet and online library catalog from an express computer hub.
