Parking during snow fall
Monroeville officials warn that drivers who park on streets during snow events will be issued parking tickets. Officials encourage people to park off-street to allow snow plow operators and emergency vehicles safe passage on the streets.
Library ‘bundles’
The Monroeville Public Library is offering Browsing Bundles for teens and adults. The service offers pre-selected books, audiobooks, DVDs, graphic novels, music, games and other items. The items can be requested for pickup from the library’s contactless pickup area.
The service requires patrons to tell library workers about themselves. The bundles will then be put together for them, and patrons will be notified when the bundle is ready for a pickup.
The library is currently closed for browsing and computer usage to curb the spread of covid-19.
For more information, call 412-372-0500 or visit the library’s website.
