6 Cool Freebies You Can Snag With Your Library Card

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

It's the perfect time of year for cozying up with a good book, but if you're looking for other activities, the library still could be the place to start. The Carnegie Libraries offer everything from power tools to ukuleles. Plus, if you're thinking about baking, consider borrowing holiday cookie cutters instead of buying your own. We're bringing back a conversation between City Cast's Mallory Falk and Francesca Dabecco, where they dive into everything the library has to offer — besides its books.  **This conversation originally published on May 30, 2023.
