ACLA libraries have a single-card
library system, provide free access to
materials through a shared catalog, jointly
offer downloadable books, audios, and
videos as well as online databases, and
support a diverse calendar of programs.
But it isn’t just the resources and
programs that patrons love about libraries.
Libraries also provide a unique and safe
place where one will find curious people
from all ages and walks of life, which truly
represents the diverse and multi-ethnic
population.
Allegheny County’s libraries have
continued to thrive and meet the needs
of our communities by providing services
that people demand in a world where
information, technology and forms of
delivery are changing rapidly.
The brick-and-mortar buildings and
e-based resources will continue to evolve
and respond to the needs of residents.
Learners of all ages are encouraged to take
some time to visit their local library and see
all it has to offer.

ONE-OF-A KIND CAR
DONATION PROGRAM
Community Auto, a program of The
Lighthouse Foundation, is a non-profit, low-
income car ownership program that accepts
donated cars, and repairs and inspects them
if necessary. The car is then sold to qualified,
working, low-income people at discounted
prices, as compared to a regular used car
dealership. This is the only organization of
its kind in Western Pennsylvania that puts
your car back into the hands of a family in the
Greater Pittsburgh area.
The used car sitting in the garage that you
didn’t sell because it was a hassle, or the car that
didn’t get the trade-in value you wanted, or that
one the kids used for school and is no longer
needed, is the perfect car to donate. Your
generous donation is the fuel for the program
and is tax deductible.
Contact Community Auto today at
communityautolico.org or at 724.538.5081 to
find out just how easy it is to donate your car and
give a family a hand toward self-sufficiency. n
