Carnegie of Homestead broadens its offerings; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 1/3/16

Joyce Gannon, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Carnegie of Homestead broadens its offerings:

"Ms. Shrieve, who joined the board in 2010 and became full-time director of administration in 2012, was among those who helped craft a strategy to generate revenues through more diverse programs and to seek outside funding sources.

By then the facility had gotten some buzz — and income — from high-profile entertainment acts it began booking at its music hall in 2007.

That venue “blossomed into a revenue generator for us and an economic driver for the community,” said Ms. Shrieve, who noted that restaurants and hotels at the nearby Waterfront retail complex in Homestead saw increased business from a steady lineup of concerts featuring well-known names such as Boz Scaggs, David Crosby and Melissa Etheridge. Paula Poundstone and Gregg Allman are among the acts booked for 2016...

Two years ago, the facility dropped the word library from its official name and rebranded as The Carnegie of Homestead.

“We are so much more than a library,” said Ms. Shrieve, who tapped her own artistic talent — she has a degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh — to help design the new logo that features an image of steel mill stacks and an open book."
