      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.

          I’m always down for a library display! That’s for looking into this @watchwmarcella!

            I’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.

                  Thanks @tfdesigns – and Mohan’s is still open – they were busy yesterday!

                    I 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.

                      Thanks Marcella. I can send something too. Is there any theme for this one?

                        Hello – @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.

                                    @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!!

                                        Thanks 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.

                                            Hello – 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.

                                              Hmm. 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.

                                                Yeah I will be at BrickFest – I can pack it up and bring it to you.
