The Mt. Lebanon Public Library invites the community to celebrate its 75th anniversary. Just keep your voice down, all right?
"We believe the library is still the center of a community," said Cynthia Richey, head librarian. "It's a place where school kids can meet friends, where young mothers, who feel isolated, can meet others, and same with those who have retired."
It's not just about the books, although Mt. Lebanon has plenty of those. In fact, more than 569,000 items -- books, DVDs and CDs among them -- were borrowed from the library in 2006. Its staff of 50 includes 11 full-time librarians.
