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.
