Since we are an entirely volunteer-run organization, it is a good idea to call first (412-682-4430) to verify that we are open. Sometimes – especially during flu and cold season – we have to close because a volunteer was not available.


We are closed for major holidays.
• We follow the Pittsburgh public schools schedule for closings and delays.
• In "extreme winter weather" conditions, listen for school closings on local radio or TV stations. It's also a good idea to call to confirm that we'll be open, since the opening volunteer may be running late or may not be able to come.
We are closed part of August for summer cleaning and re-open after Labor Day.
• We are closed the first Saturday of each month for the PTLL Board Meeting.


We're located in Shadyside at 5401 Centre Avenue – in the rear of the First United Methodist Church. The nearest major intersection is South Aiken and Centre Avenues. We are just minutes from Friendship, East Liberty, Squirrel Hill, Swissvale, Lawrenceville and Oakland.


Parking is available for free. Parking permits are available at our front desk upon arrival.


We are located at 5401 Centre Avenue, Rear of the First United Methodist Church.
