I just met with the staff at library in Penn Hills. They do have a room that we can use for quarterly meetings.
They also have 3 display cases that we are welcome to. One of them is called the casket. It doesn’t lock, but has a really heavy glass top.
I can go over again and get some pics.
She said we can get in the case the 2nd week of August. When we disassemble Shaler, I can take anything you might want to display in Hills. I will ask her how long we could stay in there.
One of the cases is very small in children’s section. I did get a pic of that one – attached.
Great news! New display locations.

July 14, 2023 at 6:10 pm #53690Mike BezParticipantI’m always down for a library display! That’s for looking into this @watchwmarcella!
July 14, 2023 at 9:51 pm #53693DanParticipantI’m down! As we do library displays that we expect to repeat we could drop dimensions on this thread so we have them for future reference.
July 15, 2023 at 11:47 am #53696Tom FrostParticipantI have something I’d send with you.
July 16, 2023 at 4:08 am #53705Marcella SpearParticipantYeah – I’ll get those and add to that thread.
July 16, 2023 at 4:09 am #53706Marcella SpearParticipantThanks @tfdesigns – and Mohan’s is still open – they were busy yesterday!
July 22, 2023 at 8:24 pm #53868Marcella SpearParticipantI heard back from the Library today – here are the dimensions:
It is 1 and ½ feet deep, 4 feet 10 inches high display area, with 4 glass shelves and 3 feet 5 inches across.
I’ll also post this in the other thread.
She will let me know the date we can install.
July 23, 2023 at 6:58 pm #53889Kerri AciernoParticipantThanks Marcella. I can send something too. Is there any theme for this one?
July 26, 2023 at 12:37 pm #53924Marcella SpearParticipantHello – @kacierno – we are going to be moving the book MOC’s from Shaler to Penn Hills. If you have something similar we would love to have!
INSTALLATION UPDATE:
Got word from the Librarian today that we can install on Aug 1st. Which is perfect, considering the tear down at Shaler the night before. I told her I could be there around 5:30pm.She said we can have the case until the end of Oct! She is very excited to have us.
Anyone that wants to come help install, I will see you there! Here is the address and our librarian’s contact info.

August 2, 2023 at 9:10 pm #54093Mike BezParticipantNice work, Marcella! It looks great! 😁
August 2, 2023 at 9:39 pm #54097DanParticipantLooks great! Did anything go in the casket?
August 2, 2023 at 9:45 pm #54100Tim BrownParticipantExcellent. Thanks for handling the set up.
August 3, 2023 at 8:31 am #54111Bob GrierParticipant@watchwmarcella’s pics of this display have been uploaded to the Gallery. For some reason, the display case is a lot bigger than I had pictured it, but our stuff has it filled out nicely. Looks great Marcella!!
August 3, 2023 at 8:49 am #54112Krista KModeratorThanks again @watchwmarcella! It looks awesome! 🙂
August 3, 2023 at 9:20 am #54115Marcella SpearParticipantThanks everyone! I was there yesterday and got to see some of the kids, they are LOVING the display. I was taking the Encanto house for the tiny display case in the children’s section. Of course the first question, can I have that? 🙂 They loved it. When the library finds the key for that case lol, Keri and I will go back over and add to that case.
We have these cases until the end of October. A nice run.
Hopefully, we can plan more with them in the future.
thanks everyone for sending things.
August 16, 2023 at 12:57 pm #54362JoshKeymasterThanks for coordinating!
September 19, 2023 at 12:15 pm #54831Marcella SpearParticipantHello – heard from the Library today. They confused the dates and need us to clear the display Oct 1-2nd. Can anyone come those days?
I’m working on the date for the winter display and will let you know.
I have a lot of the boxes, so I will plan to be there on the 2nd. – I am out of town until then. I will be able to go over after work on the 2nd.
Thanks to everyone who displayed.
September 19, 2023 at 2:18 pm #54834Tim BrownParticipantHmm. Can someone who’s doing Brickfest live grab my stuff and just bring it there? I was hoping to display the iguana there anyways so this works. In a pinch I can run out earlier during one of those two days to grab my stuff but since it’s already there in Monroeville.
September 19, 2023 at 2:56 pm #54835Marcella SpearParticipantYeah I will be at BrickFest – I can pack it up and bring it to you.
September 19, 2023 at 8:00 pm #54841Tim BrownParticipantThank you. I just have the iguana and chicka chicka boom boom
September 23, 2023 at 6:28 pm #54876Kerri AciernoParticipantI can come on the 2nd from around 4 – 5. What time is after work for you Marcella?
September 23, 2023 at 8:15 pm #54877Marcella SpearParticipantI will be there between 5-5:30.
