Birmingham Public Library Presents the
3rd Annual Read It Forward

CoverThis fall, the Birmingham Public Library’s (BPL) teen Read It Forward selection starts off early with a bang, or rather, an eruption! The non-fiction book Bodies from the Ash by James M. Deem has been selected to be read in conjunction with the Birmingham Museum of Art’s Pompeii exhibit. It tells the story of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and the destruction and preservation of the Roman cities Pompeii and Herculaneum.  Visit any BPL location to pick up your free book, log onto the library’s web site at www.bplcyberteen.org to post your comment, and then “Read It Forward” (pass the book) for someone else to read! The Birmingham Public Library will host book discussions, a special visit from the author of Bodies from the Ash and other events.
