Pittsburgh Fire Fighters are proud to team up with the “Won’t You Be A Reader” program to help promote literacy for children throughout our communities! 📚🚒
During this year’s “Coats for Kids” distribution children will also receive a book, helping keep kids warm while encouraging a love for reading. We’re honored to be part of such a great opportunity to connect with the children and families of Pittsburgh.
And to make the day even more exciting, our firefighters received a special visit from the one and only Pirate Parrot! 🦜⚾

This morning, I had the privilege to attend the @carnegielibrary breakfast to learn more about the library's strategic outlook for the year. The Carnegie Library is an invaluable institution for our region, and I was happy to learn more about their efforts.

Look what we found on an out-of-use camera we had in storage! Look familiar? This painting is at Manitou Springs Library. These photos are from 2006.

ALT A painting sits on an easel, done in subdued colors that make the scene feel a bid sad. On another easel next to it, someone has pinned multiple photos of the outside of Manitou Springs Library and the surrounding area.
ALT a closeup of the painting, which depicts Manitou Springs Library and people playing outside on the front lawn. A man feeds a squirrel, a group of young people listen to someone read them a book, another group of people run around, someone walks by with a book, and other groups enjoy the space. The painting has a grid drawn on it, and some squares of the grid are now in vibrant paint colors.
ALT The same painting, now fully in vibrant colors that make the scene more lively.

Voice of reason and perfect argument for the wannabe Christians to act appropriately rather than spout performative nonsense #CarnegieLibrary

Whose stories get told, and why? Storytellers, books, histories, and archives are essential to building a more just world—and a more just Pittsburgh. The 3rd annual Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh Call for Art invites submissions of creative work that explores how libraries, archives, and material histories can serve as tools for justice and equity. In collaboration with @CarnegieMembers, @CarnegieLibrary, @PittTweet, @1hood, and the @AugustWilsonCC, Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh is accepting submissions now through Sunday, November 2: bit.ly/41JIrd8

On a visit to the South Side, my first trip to the @carnegielibrary branch on East Carson, where I finally picked up the Pittsburgh photo book “Dream Street” (@UChicagoPress). Also spotted: rare first printing of @DeeshaPhilyaw’s book, before we had to drop the flaps!
