The following is a selection of the upcoming programs available from the Northland Public Library. Some of the virtual programs must be registered online at northlandlibrary.org or by calling 412-366-8100. The library is located at 300 Cumberland Road in McCandless.

Registration and links for live streaming of many children’s programs can be found on Charlotte Fezziwig’s Facebook page at facebook.com/charlotte.fezziwig.

The Northland Public Library is open to limited personal services. Users over 2 years of age must wear a face mask over their nose and mouth at all times in the library building, including those who have received a Covid-19 vaccine.

To encourage quick visits and ensure social distance, seating is limited throughout the library and food and drinks are not permitted in the library.

By appointment, the data center is only open for one hour per user and visit per day.

To reduce contact services, users should use self-checkout machines and online resources as much as possible to limit time in the library.

Registration is required to participate in these free virtual programs.
