We are Reading for December

In honor of the the 250 Anniversary of the City of Pittsburgh, we are reading In Sunlight, In a Beautiful Garden by Kathleen Cambor. This is a fictionalized account of the Johnstown Flood. This is a beautifully written novelization of the town and occupants of Johnstown. The author effortlessly wove the true events and people together with fictionalized characters and storylines. For more information about the 1889 flood, check the website of the Johnstown Flood Museum. In addition, check out other materials about the flood from the library. The library has a copy of David McCullough's book The Johnstown Flood , as well as the documentary dvd by the same title and narrated by Richard Dreyfuss.
