The Birmingham Public Library (BPL) will host the next installment in its “Food Truck Friday" series on Friday, March 26, accordion to a library news release.
The series has been held each Friday in March and helps support the 2021 BPL Bookmobile initiative. It will continue in April, with dates and locations to be announced.
Each “Food Truck Friday” event is held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Here is the schedule for March 26:
- Central Library, 2100 Park Place, Kamali Creole Kitchen
- Five Points West Regional Library, 4812 Ave. W., W.O.E.D. (Ways of Eating & Drinking)
During March, food trucks have also visited the the Avondale and Springville Road branches.
Birmingham Public Library is preparing to convert a vehicle donated recently by the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority into a bookmobile that will take of books and other items beyond its four walls of the library and deliver them to the community.
American public libraries have used bookmobiles as a community outreach method for decades. BPL plans to introduce its bookmobile later this year and is asking people to support the cause.
“We are delighted to be able to donate a decommissioned paratransit vehicle to the Birmingham Public Library, as well as to partner with them to offer access to library services to our customers while they wait at Central Station or travel on our buses,” said Frank T. Martin, BJCTA CEO and executive director, in another library news release.
"This is such a wonderful way for the library to go to the communities and showcase our services to our citizens," said Eunice Johnson Rogers, president of the BPL Board of Trustees.
