In accordance with the Allegheny County stay-at-home advisory issued 11/18/2020, Swissvale Library will return to lobby-only service starting Thursday, 11/19/2020.
Patrons are encouraged to continue to place holds on items and call the library for contactless lobby pickup of those items. Library staff will be available to assist via phone (412-731-2300) during open hours on Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Saturday 10 – 4 and Tuesday-Thursday noon - 6.
The library's virtual programming will continue, and patrons always have access to downloadable e-resources.
Lobby pickup service is available at Swissvale Library. Call the library to place materials on hold or use the online catalog. When picking up your holds in the lobby, please wear a mask, practice proper social distancing (stay 6 feet away from others) and pay attention to posted signs. Don’t enter the lobby if another patron is there; wait until they have exited. Items on Swissvale Library’s shelves will be ready for pick up the next day. Items on hold from other libraries typically arrive in 7-10 days.
Faxing, WiFi printing from patron devices, and copying services are available. Call us at 412-731-2300 to arrange for these services and for WiFi printing instructions.
Please monitor this Facebook page and our website for additional details. Contact the library directly (412-731-2300 or carnegiefreelibraryofswissvale@gmail.com) with any additional questions.
Stay safe!
