Northwest Room Book Discussion: "Eruption : the untold story of Mount St. Helens," by Steve Olson

For weeks scientists, locals, and volcano enthusiasts had been tracking the restless behavior of Mount St. Helens. While the mountain's eventual eruption was far from a surprise, the sheer intensity of it was.

In "Eruption," author Steve Olson explores the history and science leading up to the events of May 18, 1980, as well as the personal narratives of those whose lives, and deaths, were so closely intertwined with the volatile nature of the volcano. 

Join Northwest Room staff Lisa and Mindy in a discussion of this title. Copies can be checked out from the Main Library New Books shelf by the Circulation office starting in mid-May. This event will be updated when the books become available for check-out.
