Mission

The Carnegie Library of Homesteads mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning, wellness, and quality of life within and outside of the Steel Valley. Today, we serve over 17,000 residents of Munhall, Homestead, West Homestead, and Whitaker;

  • The Library holds over 37,500 volumes and resources in circulation, with 3,000,000 county-wide items in collection (books, audiobooks, and DVDs). In 2024, the Library had nearly 7,300 cardholders (35% of our residents) and 230,000 visits (750 per day). Our 30 computers provided nearly 34,000 online sessions to the general public, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. Last year, the library held 1,300 learning programs attended by 20,000 people of all ages. The Library offers something for community families every day: storytime and physical activities for young children; science and art classes for homeschooled kids and their parents; literacy programs reaching 30 local preschools and daycare centers; homework help for teens with access to laptops and advanced software; STEAM workshopsincluding robotics in the Makerspace; book clubs for all ages; knitting and crafting for adults; and cultural programs like French and Russian lessons and pysanky egg decorating.

  • The Music Hall, an intimate 126-year-old venue, seats 1,030 guests and has changed very little since its original construction, though it is currently undergoing a restoration campaign. Recent updates include a refurbished lobby with an elevator serving all three levels, as well as new seating and carpeting throughout the theater. In 2024, more than 52,000 patrons from Western Pennsylvania and across the country attended over 80 nationally known performances. Affordably priced tickets make it easy to enjoy popular artists such as Mateo Bocelli, Nikki Glaser, Little River Band, Boz Scaggs, Jeff Goldblum, and more. Beyond performances, the Music Hall serves as a community house for local nonprofits, hosting civic engagement programs and events such as graduations, naturalization ceremonies, school band concerts, church plays, and local dance recitals. The venue is also a leading economic driver for nearby restaurants, retailers, and hotelsbringing over $2 million in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue districts for every 100 shows held. Revenue from ticket sales and space rentals helps support the facility and the programs that serve our community.
