The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh South Side is a historic neighborhood library located on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh, PA. Built in 1909, the two-story red-brick building was designed by Alden Harlow, a prominent architectural firm at the time. It has a rich history, serving as a gathering place for the community, offering a wide range of services, and housing the South Side Local Development Corporation Archive.

With its original furniture from 1908 still intact, the library is a community hub that provides access to books, resources, and technology. It has a Children's Room specially designed for young readers and was the first home of the Helen Keller Book Clubs in the 1920s. The library also offers meeting rooms, public computers, and free Wi-Fi, making it a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike.
