Celebrating Love Your Library Month at Jefferson Hills Public Library

Every library has a heart.

At Jefferson Hills Public Library, our heart is our community, the people who walk through our doors, discover new stories, join us for programs, share recommendations, learn something new, and make the library part of their everyday lives.

September is Love Your Library Month, and we’re celebrating everything that makes JHPL special: you.

From young readers discovering a first favorite book to longtime patrons who have supported the library for years, every person who visits, participates, volunteers, donates, or simply believes in the library helps shape the community we serve.

This month, we invite you to celebrate with us, get involved, and show your library some love. ❤️

Your contributions help us:

  • Provide opportunities for learning and creativity
  • Create spaces for connection and community
  • Support programs and services for patrons of all ages

Every donation made during September is eligible for a matching contribution from the Jack Buncher Foundation, giving your support an even greater impact.
