On March 15, the Jefferson Hills Library dedicated the Community Living Room, two newly furnished areas adjacent to the Library in the upstairs commons area of the Jefferson Hills Borough Building.
The area was made possible through donations made in the name of the late George Stoicovy, whose wife, Monica Stoicovy, is a member of the library board of directors. Mr. Stoicovy had worked for the West Jefferson Hills School District for 35 years and retired as a guidance counselor at the Middle School. When he died in December of 2012, friends and family were asked to donated to a memorial fund in his name benefitting the library in lieu of sending flowers.
The inviting Community Living Room, which is WIFI connected, overlooks the building's wooded grounds, and two separate areas are furnished with new carpeting, comfortable padded chairs, end tables, lamps and a conference table.
Since the dedication, the area has become a meeting place for civic groups such as the West Jefferson Hills Historical Society, bridge lessons, book clubs, tutoring or just a peaceful place to sit with a laptop computer or book and enjoy some quiet time.
