Andrews Reading Library dedication Sunday

Family, friends, neighbors and involved community members in Birmingham this Sunday, August 30, will be formally dedicating the Patricia Andrews Reading Library in honor of a longtime teacher and historian who passed away in September of 2021 just shy of her 100th birthday.

Andrews was considered an inspirational teacher and dedicated historian of all things Birmingham, two passions she continued to pursue even after she retired from teaching in local school district schools.

The focus of the reading library will be elementary and middle school students and their families, according to those who have been working in recent years to bring this project to a city parcel of land on the northeast corner of Maple and Fairfax, east of the Chesterfield Fire Station #2.

The dedication event this Sunday will start at 11 a.m.

Donations to the effort are still being accepted by the Patricia A. Andrews Reading Library Foundation.
