A Library & So Much More...
January 2020

 A message from the ACFL&MH executive director, Maggie Forbes:

As 2019 comes to an end, I want to thank you for
being part of the Carnegie Carnegie's magic.  

You came for performances in the Music Hall and Studio; to visit our rare Civil War room; for story times and special activities with kids or grand kids; to use our computers on a daily basis; to honor and remember at a Veterans Day ceremony; for authors' talks; to vote in the Lincoln Gallery;
to attend a job fair or an art show; to celebrate a marriage; to work on a jigsaw puzzle or for that special circulation desk camaraderie.

Whatever brought you here, you are part of the ever-evolving tapestry of community that the Library & Music Hall has been weaving since 1901.  We are planning for a 2020 filled with wonderful programs, performances and services to bring you back.  

On behalf of the board and Staff, I wish you and yours comfort and joy....

Maggie Forbes

PREPARE TO GET MESSY ON NEW YEAR’S DAY AT THE SCIENCE CENTER VISITORS ARE INVITED TO START 2020 WITH MESSFEST TRADITION

Image
MessFest, Carnegie Science Center’s one-of-a-kind tradition to kick off the New Year, is back! Free with general admission, the 14th annual messy celebration returns on Wed., Jan. 1 and features the slimiest, yuckiest, and gooiest activities for visitors of all ages. From 10 am to 5 pm, visitors get hands-on (literally) with the gooey substance Oobleck, share their creative side with finger painting, and enjoy a pudding “Pi” eating contest. The Egg Drop activity invites visitors to engineer a package for raw eggs that will protect their “egg-stronauts” as the eggs hurtle over a two-story drop. It’s fun for the whole family and, best of all, parents don’t have to clean up after their kids! Visitors are advised: You WILL get messy, so don’t dress up! Along with activity tables, visitors can experience high-energy, grossly entertaining programs in the Science Center’s BodyStage, presented by Allegheny Health Network. MessFest is presented by PPG and sponsored by WISH 99.7. For more inform

Get a Head Start on New Year's Eve with Roger Humprhies and the RH Factor

Image
Roger Humphries and the RH Factor's Tribute to Art Blakey Special Guest: Brazilian Vocalist Kenia Friday, December 27, 8:00 p.m. Jazz drummer Roger Humphries is a household name in Pittsburgh. Deservedly so!  Music critics rate him one of the most exciting percussionists in the business today.  Roger credits Art Blakey with teaching him how to swing. Blakey, born in Pittsburgh in 1919, had a profound influence on mainstream jazz. Purportedly, Blakey started his music career on piano, but was persuaded –  at gunpoint –  to switch to drums.  A club owner who wanted to clear the piano for a young Erroll Garner.  However he found his way to drums, Blakey went on to jazz greatness with his band, the Jazz Messengers. The performance will be followed by a dessert reception in the Lincoln Gallery. Enjoy a complimentary prosecco toast (21+).  Wine and beer by donation, thereafter. Tickets: $25 in advance; $30 at the door; Youth 12 and under $10 Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall
