This past fall, Dormont Public Library celebrated its 80th birthday. So, we thought it would be fun to take a look at some historical images and renderings from the library. The library began on May 9, 1936, during a meeting of the Kelton Parent-Teacher Association. It was incorporated into the borough in 1956, and has continued to expand over the years.
