    I love the old style block building I think the architecture is amazing. Lots of county offices are inside the problem with being downtown Is street parking is hard to find and pay parking lots and parking garages can get expensive plus it's hard to leave because of traffic. But I do love the look of the building

    Truly a piece of history. An incredibly large building with murals, marble, iron and solid wood. One of the many beautiful turn of the century buildings that Pittsburgh boasts.

    In honor of Pittsburgh's bicentennial.

    Well, what is there to say about government agencies? I've…read morehad to deal with them a few times. Once to get a duplicate of my birth certificate (original was in bad shape), a copy of my daughter's birth certificate, and reissues of my paternal grandmother's death certificate. What should be an easy process was sometimes cumbersome because of the number of other people attempting to obtain documents and frankly the attitude of employees. The wait time wouldn't be so bad if the people working were a little more empathetic.

    Went on a Wednesday morning to get a new birth certificate after losing my original. Went online…read morefirst and printed and filled out all proper paperwork. Which was basically 1 page with your basic info. When I got there I had to let the security guard at the front door know where I was going. He then typed something into a thing at his desk which apparently runs the elevators. Got on the elevator which took me to the 3rd floor without me having to hit any buttons. When I reached the 3rd floor I then had to follow the signs to Vital records office. When I reached the office I went to the window where I was met by a very nice older women who took my papers and ID. She then processed my payment and told me that my Birth Certificate will be ready in 10 to 15 minutes. I sat down for what I believe was no more that 5 minutes and it was ready and given to me by another gentleman. Fast and polite service!! I was honestly expecting a line and alot of hassle. Luckily got neither and had a very pleasant experience!!

    I love the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Walking in feels more like entering a castle or historic…read morelandmark than a library. The building is beautiful, and every time I visit I notice something new. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and willing to help, which makes the library feel comfortable and inviting. What I appreciate most is that there are so many activities and events that are free or very low cost. There are plenty of programs for teens, families, and adults, and everyone is welcome. It's definitely worth the drive from the suburbs if you're looking for a unique place to spend a few hours. Between the architecture, the helpful staff, and all the community events, it's one of the coolest libraries I've visited. I wish I would have known about this place when my boys were little, it would be a great stop after visiting the museum.

    A beautiful library filled with tons of amazing resources and interesting and unique finds!…read moreOne of the things I loved was that this branch has a music library! I could spend all day just in that section. You can look at (and check out) all sorts of things from musical scores, concert programs, newspaper clippings and more. They even have instruments you can check out! I don't think there is any other library in the area that offers this sort of department. There is something for everyone here (and then some!). I've been here with my kids when they were babies and have taken them here for a variety of programs or even just to stop in when we are in the area. There are plenty of places to relax and enjoy your book (including a cafe) but lots of quiet nooks and seating areas as well. There is no parking lot specific to the library, but there is a ton of metered parking in the area. I highly recommend visiting this library, especially if you are looking for something unique. Or even just to enjoy some quiet time in a beautiful space.
