Follow on Google News | MDPL Launches A Community Reading Program, MDPL ReadsMiami Design Preservation League (MDPL) is excited to launch a new program, MDPL Reads. The program is meant to bring attention to great books about South Beach and the Art Deco Historic District.
By: Amanda Bush “Our wish is to develop MDPL Reads into a Community Reading Program. It is a great way for South Beach Residents to learn about the city they live in and meet other people within the community,” Richard Towers, MDPL Programs and Events Coordinator stated in a recent interview. MDPL plans to produce this program a few times per year, incorporating unique and interesting books that compliment their mission statement of protecting, promoting, and preserving the Miami Beach Art Deco District since 1976. The first book, South Beach: Stories of A Renaissance ties the present to the past and ferrets out the most intriguing stories that bring South Beach to life. The book is a treasure trove of original stories and nascent legends. These stories are the culmination of over four dozen personal interviews with influential leaders of South Beach. When added to the original artwork and the stunning photography of Joe Davis, the book is a masterful addition to the existing literature of Florida history, lavishly illustrated with 150 full color images including 4 double page gate folds. MDPL’s Facebook trivia series based on the book is “a fun way to get people’s attention, plus its educational,” End
