  The Birmingham, Alabama Public Schools have announced library/media
openings in elementary and middle schools for the 1994-95 school year.
Alabama certification as a library-media specialist is required.

  The libraries in the Birmingham Public Schools have made steady progress
in the last decade.  The history and goals of the libraries in the school
system have been noted in the May, 1994 issue of School Library Journal in
the article written by Dr. Geraldine Bell, Coordinator of Media Resources,
called "Blossoming in Birmingham:  How One City's School System in Beating
the Odds and Growing Readers," pages 21-23.  The libraries in the Birmingham
Public Schools work closely with the community to encourage reading among
the city's children.

  Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama, is located at the southern end
of the Appalachian Mountains.  The climate is pleasant throughout the year
and the cost of living is low, compared with some other areas in the United
States.
