Saw this play last month and loved it - Sharon Washington grew up in an apartment over a New York Library donated by Carnegie. Funny, powerful, and by turns heartbreaking. If it comes to a city near you, SEE IT!

It's not a trip home without the pilgrimage to my first library in Carnegie, PA, built in 1899 with a grant from Andrew Carnegie for his namesake town.

When I saw a Carnegie library in Las Vegas, New Mexico I had to pull over and take pictures. I love road trips!

#riotgrams Day 7: #mylocallibrary
I ❤ the Carnegie Libraries of Pittsburgh!! I love their massive library catalogue. I love their events. I love their staff. I love that I can reserve books via their app, get emailed when those books are ready for pickup, and then walk down to the above branch on my lunch break to collect my spoils. 📚
