Director's Corner By Sandra Collins
Did you know that Northland Public Library and all public libraries in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have a stake in the state budgeting process?
Each qualifying public library receives support through the Public Library Subsidy. State aid accounts for 10% of Northland’s income for 2011. The subsidy received in 2011 reflects a loss of $164,000 in state funds since 2009, resulting in a reduction in the amount of books, DVDs, magazines and other resources that Northland can provide for your use. While Governor Corbett’s proposed 2011-2012 budget does not increase the Public Library Subsidy, it does sustain it at its current level. Considering the next state budget will include deep cuts in many worthwhile services, the Governor’s proposal to preserve current funding levels for library services is welcome news.
In the coming weeks, it is important for library advocates to speak up in support of the library portion of the Governor’s budget proposal. Please contact your State Senator and State Representative to ask for their support of the library funding levels recommended in Governor Corbett’s budget and Governor Corbett to thank him for recognizing the importance of libraries by preserving library funding in his proposed budget.

Remembering Pittsburgh: An Eyewitness History Of The Steel City
Thursday, April 14 at 7:00pm
To celebrate National Library Week, we've invited one of Pittsburgh's well-known journalists to share his fascinating accounts of our city's historical events, both large and small, from its founding to the onset of World War II.
Len Barcousky, county government reporter with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, has put together a collection of his Eyewitness columns in which he compellingly retells the headlines of long ago...from the Whiskey Rebellion to the Great Fire that destroyed a third of the city in 1845 to President Coolidge's almost-silent visit in 1927. Mr. Barcousky's book, Remembering Pittsburgh: An Eyewitness History of the Steel City, serves as a fine reminder that the local newspaper has been on the scene documenting the life of our region long before historians ever got around to it.
Join us as Mr. Barcousky vividly recounts the compelling stories of our city's history, including some little known events such as the first woman hanged in Allegheny County and a car that was driven up and down one of the city's inclines to prove it could handle our steep hills and deep valleys.
Copies of Remembering Pittsburgh will be available for purchase. Please register for this program online or by calling the adult services reference desk at 412-366-8100, ext.113
