 | | The first library in Penn Hills was a Carnegie Facility, located in the North Bessemer neighborhood and demolished in the late 1950's to make room for housing railroad employees. |
 | | Sparked by a campaign by local clubs, the Penn Hills Municipality adopted a Library Ordinance in 1963 that established a Library Board and gave it the power to raise funds for a library. |
 | | Five years later, ground was broken in September 1971, for the construction of new library facility funded by the Municipality of Penn Hills ($100,000), the Authority for Improvement of Municipalities (AIM)($100,000) through the Allegheny County Commissioners and a fund-raising campaign ($65,000). |
