Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill Branch

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill Branch, originally uploaded by Raymond Yee.

One of the first pieces of official business for me upon relocating to Pittsburgh this fall was to obtain a library card. I’ve been very happy with the Squirrel Hill branch of our public library (the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh). It’s not a large building, and there are not a lot of books at the branch — but the selection and decor are winning. Moreover, the reading chairs provide a nice view of Forbes Avenue while you immerse yourself in your book or magazine.
