About Brookline

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Brookline opened its doors in 1930. Initially, the Library operated only two hours per week. Since its establishment, the Library has experienced tremendous growth and now operates 50 hours per week. A major component of the Library’s growth is its renovation, which took place in 2003-2004. The building was upgraded to include a large, finished lower level equipped with computers and meeting spaces, a beautiful light wall along its internet cafe and a welcoming front room with lots of natural light and comfy seating. Following the renovation, CLP – Brookline was named “Library Building of the Year” by the American Institute of Architects and the American Library Association. The location has also been LEED-certifie by the Green Building Alliance.

In addition to its modern space, this unique location is home to three distinct book discussion groups for adults of all backgrounds and interests, both daytime and evening offerings of Toddler and Preschooler Storytimes and a very popular “Let’s Speak English!” program where non-native English speakers engage in fun activities to practice their skills and build their confidence using the language.
