Announcements

Pennsylvania's 2003/2004 budget reduced funding by 50% for Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and other public libraries. To maintain the quality of computer classes offered and to help defray the ongoing costs for this service, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh will begin charging a nominal fee ($10) for some Main Library PC Center classes starting October 1, 2003. For your convenience, payments will be accepted on site at class time. Visa, MasterCard, cash or a personal check with proper identification will be accepted. Please make checks payable to: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

Many popular computer classes will remain free including Introduction to Computers and Introduction to Windows.

The Library is also pleased to announce that PC Center classes offered at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - East Liberty will remain free.
