Bridgeville Public Library officials plan to meet with their counterparts in South Fayette soon to see if the two groups can share or improve services for their patrons. The two sides are still trying to figure out a date when they can meet to discuss whether there are mutual benefits to combine activities, collections, accounting services or events. Allegheny County Library Association Executive Director Marilyn Jenkins attended Bridgeville library’s Tuesday night board meeting to see if her organization could facilitate a meeting or the merging of some services.

It’s getting really hot in the Scott Township Public Library. The library’s air conditioning literally blew out earlier this week, causing township officials to scramble for a quick and cheap solution to keep the room cool.

Scott and Bridgeville libraries don't have copies of the book, but South Fayette, Upper St. Clair, Green Tree, Mt. Lebanon, Dormont …
