Alycia Knauer frequently visits the Job and Career Education Center at the Carnegie Library in Oakland to get books on the law-school entrance exam.
Knauer is among the increasing number of people visiting libraries nationwide to take advantage of free resources such as Internet access and videos.
Mt. Lebanon Public Library saw a 5 percent increase in visitors from November 2007 to November 2008, said Cynthia Richey, director of the Mt. Lebanon library.
"Libraries are essential to society anyway, but become more essential in an economic downturn," Richey said. General circulation at the Mt. Lebanon library rose 3 percent during the past year.
