Friends of the Squirrel Hill Library

Friends of the Library groups all over the world volunteer in many ways to help their local public libraries.

The Friends of the Squirrel Hill Library group was organized October 5, 1985, and has been going strong ever since.

We welcome anybody who cares about the library to join the group and/or come to our monthly meetings.

The Friends of the Squirrel Hill Library are active in many areas:

We advocate for libraries in letters, emails, phone calls, and lobbying in support of public actions to fund and improve libraries;

we raise money, through membership dues, used book sales, and other fund-raisers, to supplement the funds allocated to the Squirrel Hill Branch from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh;

we publicize library events and programs;
and we represent other library users, meeting with the Professional Staff, learning about their concerns and sharing ideas and suggestions to make the library ever more vital to the community.


Four different
Friends bookmarks
are available for printing.
