Love Your Library 2024
September 1-September 30
Dormont Public Library and libraries across Allegheny County are inviting our neighbors to show their love!
Now in its ninth year, “Love Your Library,” a county-wide initiative developed by the Allegheny County Library
Association and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, provides a way for residents to “show their love” to their local library.
September is a critical fundraising month for us. Your donation will have a pro-rated match thanks to generous
support from the Jack Buncher Foundation.
Only donations made during September can be matched.
If it’s within your means, please consider donating during September. You may already have received a donation envelope in the mail.
You can also donate online:
