Located along a very residential street in Pittsburgh's North Shore, it's hard to miss this library…read morethat is painted purple and white with a proper shingle roof. The single door is secured. Inside, two shelves that were well stuffed. Quite a lot of childrens books but a few thrillers and some reference books. "The Terrible Underpants" is a good read for the little ones. This is charter number 173085 and while the steward does not have their name or email or a caption, the name of this library is "Dax & Kasidy's Little Library."

This is the most amazing free library I have seen and the neighbors are absolutely friendly and…read morewelcoming. They have held several open houses where neighbors can drop in and meet each other and learn about the free library. The concept is simple, anyone can borrow or leave a book. It's not required that you donate a book, but many do. It's fun to see what books are available, or to leave a book that you have finished reading. The selection is small, but it changes often. It's not a substitute for an actual library, but it's a fun way to build community. And the library itself is gosh darn cute!

Made me want to reach in for a copy of "The Chronicles of Narnia" or better yet climb in and escape to a world far away. Sometimes simple things are all that are required to bring back a glimpse of childhood. Very cool.

Original review: Looking for a birthday party venue for our kiddo, I came across Assemble. It looked great! -- they advertise birthday parties on their website, and include pricing and other info about activities and number of kids they can accommodate. Great, it's all looking good. I fill out their online form with the required info, including three potential dates for the party that all comply with the date restrictions they have posted in their website, and submit it. I get a response the next day -- again, great!! Yes, they can do the first requested date. Yes, they can do activities for the age group. Leah, the "Camp Coordinator" (according to her email signature block) asks if we are still interested/want to confirm the party date. I say, yes, we definitely want to book. Cut to today when Leah emails to say, ooops! When we confirmed the party, we were just kidding!!!!! No party. Instead, Assemble decided to do camp on that date, so they can charge more money. They hope I can understand their decision to unilaterally cancel my kiddo's birthday party reservation, which they previously confirmed, because it's easier for them to cancel my kid's party than to keep their word. No. No, I don't understand. It's unprofessional. Best case scenario, they're so disorganized that their Camp Coordinator booked my kid's birthday party without realizing that they already had camp scheduled for that date. But, no, that's not what she said happened. She *admitted* that she found out (after booking the party) that Assemble subsequently decided it would do a camp on the party date. Rather than honor the party reservation that was already confirmed, they just cancelled my kiddo's party. I could never recommend them to anyone, because you can't trust them. They'll take their word back when it suits them.

All the staff work put so much work into making the space feel safe and welcoming to kids and adults. It is clear that everyone working there cares deeply about the local community. They highlight local artists in their gallery space, and bring in guest artists to teach kids and adults. The 21+ nights are so fun, I always invite my friends and end up leaving assemble with a fun project and a new skill!

In addition to their art and craft classes, there are movie nights, poetry evenings, live music performances and so much more. Definitely a bonus to the surrounding area, and a welcoming sight. The artist residency program offers two individuals a private work studio, after hours access, and a spotlight of the artist's work on social media platforms and gallery exhibition. The creative reuse center, Oh, Scrap! encourages artists to recycle and reuse materials that have been collected, or donated and provides a great outlet for ones creative imagination.

This was my very first time inside of the center. I attended a book/author conference, and found…read morethe space to be accommodating for a decent size event. You can rent the facility completely and have 2 different areas. For example, one for event and the other you can use for dining. It's located in the Hill District and has served as a recreational and meeting space for decades.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea that this place existed. The only reason I ended up here was…read morebecause my coworker was having a surprise birthday party for his mother. Not knowing my way around this neighborhood I was surprised by this asset hidden in plain sight. This is a place that every neighborhood could use and should have. It is a multiuse facility that could be used for anything from birthday parties to conferences. Ample space can be found inside with amenities you can use if need be. The inside is interestingly decorated. There is art everywhere. Talk about being a cultural gathering place, which this place is. Pictures hang just about everywhere, whether they are paintings or photographs. I have to say that if you wanted to escape the room you are in you could definitely distract yourself with all that is in here. Parking is available inside the fenced area or on the street. I suggest trying the street as the parking lot is a bit cramped at the moment, but a good thing to have. As for the name of the place, it is a fitting memorial to a young man that met a tragic end.

Love this space. A fantastic and eclectic collection of work by local artists of all genres…read more Welcoming to all. Located next to Roboto Project this gallery has something for everyone from paintings to sculptures and more. Stopping here during Unblurred is a must.
