"BPL @ Your School" is a pilot project partnering the Birmingham Public Library and Birmingham City Schools.

This project grew out of the library's desire to take an active role in supporting the Alabama Reading Initiative. The goal of "BPL @ Your School" is to make supplemental reading material easily available to students in their classrooms using Birmingham Public Library books.

Having books on a variety of topics readily available will spark an interest in students and, ultimately, improve their reading skills as well as encourage a life-long love of reading for self-improvement and pleasure.

"BPL @ Your School" serves the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in Birmingham's eight K-8 schools.
