Rally Held For Lawrenceville Library

LAWRENCEVILLE (KDKA) ― A rally was held outside the Lawrenceville Library on Saturday over the recent announcement that the branch would be closing in 2010.

The group that gathered outside the library ranged from children to the elderly and the purpose was to brainstorm on ways to save the library and show support for it.

In a statement released by the group, children have been coming to the branch since 1898 to hear a story.

Other changes announced this week include:

Other Closures:

  • Beechview
  • West End
  • Hazelwood

Other Changes:

  • Carrick and Knoxville will merge.
  • Mount Washington Library will move from Grandview Avenue to Virginia Avenue.
  • The depository on the North Side in the old Allegheny Regional Building.
  • Hours will be reduced a total of 28 percent.
  • 30 positions set to be eliminated by either retirement, voluntary resignation or if necessary there will be cuts.
  • Fines and fees will also be increasing.
