The Eastridge Branch of the Wilkinsburg Public Library has been closed for “plumbing issues” for over two months—with no clear timeline for repairs or reopening. Meanwhile, families in East Hills, Homewood, and Wilkinsburg are feeling the impact every day. Students have lost a safe, quiet place to study. Job seekers no longer have reliable access to computers and online applications. Children are missing out on after-school programs, literacy support, and a space designed to help them grow. For many in our community, this library was more than just a building—it was a lifeline. It provided free internet, educational resources, and a place where neighbors could connect and support one another. Right now, that lifeline is gone. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a serious gap in essential services, and it’s affecting the people who need them most. The Wilkinsburg Borough Council and the Allegheny County Library Association need to hear from us. Sign this petition to demand immediate action to repair and reopen the Eastridge Branch—and restore these vital services to our community. Have you or someone you know been affected by this closure? Your voice matters. Speak up and help bring our library back.
