Other Giving Opportunities

All giving opportunities outlined on this page support the Northland Public Library Foundation’s mission to build financial support through community fundraising to enhance the programs and growth of Northland Public Library.

For more information about these programs or to learn about other giving opportunities in support of Northland Public Library, please contact Foundation Director Alexis McKinley at mckinleya@northlandlibrary.org or (412) 366-8100 x104.


New Outdoor Furniture


Northland Public Library is fortunate to be located at the top of Cumberland Road with beautiful views of the surrounding areas. Library patrons enjoy sitting outside with a good book or socializing with friends on warm days. Unfortunately, Northland’s current outdoor furniture has outlived its useful life, and we would like to purchase replacement furniture crafted of more durable and sustainable materials.

A donation at one of the following levels will allow the Foundation to purchase a new furniture item which can be affixed with a dedication plaque of your choice.

  • Picnic Table – $2,000
  • Adirondack Bench – $750
  • Adirondack Chair – $350

For more information, please contact our Foundation Director Alexis McKinley at (412) 366-8100 x104 or mckinleya@northlandlibrary.org.


The Giving Tree

Is there someone special in your life you would like to remember or honor? Perhaps it’s someone who challenged you, motivated you, believed in you, and helped you become the person you are today?

The Giving Tree is a permanent installation on the first floor of Northland Public Library which acknowledges and celebrates our library donors. Any individual or organization can purchase a leaf on the Giving Tree by making a donation at one of the following levels.

GOLD: $1,000

SILVER: $500

BRONZE: $250

To purchase a leaf, you may complete this online form or contact the Foundation office for more information.
