Mah Jong ClassCancelled
403 Fox Chapel Rd, Pittsburgh, PA, 15328, US

Learn how to play Mah Jong with area pro, Dorothy Drennen. This 3-week session will include three robust classes plus a detailed handout with Mah Jong tips and tricks. Each student will need the 2024 Mah Jong card from the National Mah Jong League ($14 small, $15 large). You can buy a 2024 card directly from Dorothy or you can purchase one here. If you already have this year’s card, you’re good to go.

Cost is $125 for the 3 sessions. Dorothy can only instruct four people at a time so if you’re interested in a session but this one is full, please email coopersiegelref@einetwork.net and if there’s enough interest, we can schedule another 3-week session.

We also have an open game time every week on Fridays from 1-3. The library has 3 sets, but can host more games if participants can bring their own.

Join us for a playful storytime in both Spanish and English with interactive books, rhymes, and songs. Storytimes are a great way to build early literacy skills, practice social skills, and gain background knowledge that will support your child as they learn and grow. This program is geared towards 3 – 5 year olds and their caregivers.

This storytime alternates with Preschool Storytime.

Please register for any dates you plan to attend separately. This program will be in the large program room on the lower level.

1-on-1 Tech Help
403 Fox Chapel Rd, Pittsburgh, PA, 15328, US

Make a 60 minute appointment to get some help with your technology questions. Troubleshoot with an expert high schooler who will help with devices like cell phones (iphone and android), e-readers  (iPad, Chromebook), laptops, library apps (Hoopla, Libby, the Library app) and more!

The tech appointments are coordinated through a partnership with a nonprofit that was founded by local high school student David Feder. David started Technology Trained by Teens because it helps those who are often left behind connect to the world. 

Every week we will post the available times for the following week.
