The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's Woods Run branch, originally established in 1916, is recognized as the first municipally owned and operated Carnegie Library. Located near the entrance to Riverview Park, it has become a vibrant community gathering space, offering a diverse collection of books, magazines, DVDs, and music CDs, alongside engaging programs for children, teens, and adults.
Following renovations in 2006 that enhanced its design and earned a LEED Silver certification in 2010, the library features bright, welcoming spaces that connect it to the community. Despite being one of the smallest branches in the system, Woods Run consistently ranks among the highest in circulation, reflecting its importance as a resource for local residents.
