** Not all libraries in Allegheny County are funded equally.

** How does your library stack up? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Braddock Carnegie Library has a lot that you wouldn’t expect — like puppets, a swimming pool and a pottery studio.
But it still lacks basics any library patron would expect. Like elevators ([link removed]) . And consistent heat and air conditioning.
A community centerpiece for kids and adults, the library branch is under renovation but the funds to finish aren’t yet in hand. Its problems aren’t unique in a county with 46 separate library organizations, ranging from flush to struggling.
As you’ll learn from our story with 90.5 WESA ([link removed]) , some of Allegheny County’s library systems are striving to serve and modernize amid uneven funding. What’s driving the disparities? Regional fragmentation and a funding formula driving more tax dollars to some libraries than others.
PublicSource's Rich Lord and 90.5 WESA's Kate Giammarise explored the impact of a key funding formula on libraries with starkly different needs and financial realities.

After 10 years of existing, we’re entering a new phase. We’re still the PublicSource you know and love. But we’re changing. And we’re growing.
As of today, we have a new editor-in-chief and managing editor ([link removed]) . (ICYMI: We also have a new CEO ([link removed]) .)
Halle Stockton, an award-winning journalist and our managing editor of seven years is PublicSource’s new editor-in-chief, where she’ll lead editorial strategy and operations. Longtime Pittsburgh journalist Rich Lord was named the new managing editor by Stockton.
