Survival: After Hours

Attention Citizen,

The Leadership has requested your presence at Main Headquarters for a night of celebration in support of the Library you love!

Volunteer as tribute and channel your inner Katniss Everdeen at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Survival: After Hours and help to raise funds for the Library! This month only, your support will go even further – The proceeds from After Hours ticket sales will be partially matched by the Jack Buncher Foundation as a part of the Love Your Library campaign

It’s Big Brother’s night off, so cut loose and enjoy some light bites and specialty cocktails as you prepare for the apocalypse by participating in fun, themed activities. Whether you’re Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, Candor or Abnegation you’ll be sure to have a blast as you learn basic first aid, discover the benefits of food preservation and try on some outdoor gear. Or maybe you’re a known craftsman in your district? Try your hand at silk-screening, raft building and so much more!
