Extended Evening Hours

We are now offering later evening hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Our new hours of operation for those days are:

Tuesday & Wednesday: 12 Noon-8 PM

Masks Recommended

In the interest of the health and safety of patrons and staff, we recommend that patrons over the age of 2 wear a mask while they are in the building.
Please follow any staff instructions regarding masks.

If you feel sick or if a member of your family is sick, we request that you wait to visit the library.

If you do not have a mask and wish to use one, we will provide you with one.
Please knock on the door or call 412-531-8754 and we will bring a mask out to you.
Curbside services and remote printing services remain available.

Book Bag Sale: $3 through Mar. 31

For a limited time, take advantage of our Book Bag Sale! Through the end of March we’ll be offering Book Sale bags for just $3 each (normally $5). Not sure how the sale works? Just ask for a bag at the front desk and fill it with books from our Book Sale shelves. Stop by any time that we’re open! Proceeds benefit Dormont Library.

Tax Forms Availability

We have preprited copies of the most common federal (IRS) and state tax forms on hand in the rack on the first floor. If you don’t see the form you need, please let us know and we can print copies of most forms for you. Library staff cannot tell you which forms you need if you do not know them; contact a licensed tax professional for tax questions.

John Balkovec Pittsburgh Collection

Today we’re proud to dedicate the John Balkovec Pittsburgh Collection. The late Mr. Balkovec was active and well known in many local community institutions, as well as a former board member of Dormont Public Library. We are grateful to the Balkovec famly for their contribution to the library, and we hope you’ll take a look and share John’s love for his hometown.
