CDs, DVDs, and even puzzles it receives annually. Sponsored
by the Friends of Mt. Lebanon Library, The Book Cellar was an
immediate success with its first-year income topping that of
the most profitable “Twice Sold Tales” event.
The Book Cellar volunteer corps works more than 7,000 hours
annually, which allowed the store to expand its hours from
the original 28 per week to the current 52 (the library is open
68 hours). Book lovers will find the store open for business
every day except Sunday. The store’s current inventory
exceeds 10,000 items, and books are displayed by categories,
including history, cooking, religion, poetry, classics, and much
more. Specialty items and rare books are sold on Amazon.

Facilitators Glenn Flickinger and Scott Moore are local
history enthusiasts with expertise on a wide range of
topics. Both have teaching experience.
“We still are amazed by how many folks in Mt. Lebanon, not
to mention residents of the rest of Pittsburgh, visit us, but
there are many others who do not know The Book Cellar is a
real bricks-and-mortar used bookstore,” says David McKibben,
Friends of Mt. Lebanon Library president and Book Cellar
volunteer coordinator. “We have people from Ohio and West
Virginia who stop on their way to and from Pittsburgh events,
but we would like to have more people from everywhere
make us a must-shop spot.”
All bookstore proceeds benefit Mt. Lebanon Public Library.
Since its opening, The Book Cellar has raised more than
$600,000 for library programming and other special needs
that are not funded by the library’s traditional funding
sources.
New volunteers are always welcome. Drop off donations
any time the library is open. More information is available at
