Author to Speak Locally About Bullying Crisis

The event will be held at Bethel Park Library and being promoted in conjunction with Upper St. Clair Library.

Book lovers, Walter G. Meyer will be speaking at the Bethel Park Library on Tuesday, October 23 at 7 p.m.

Although his novel, Rounding Third, was published three years ago, it is still selling well and garnering him invitations to speak and write about the bullying crisis.

Although the book is fiction, it deals with the topics of bullying and suicide and happened to be published just when those stories started making the news.
