The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture and to encourage citizens to read for pleasure and enlightenment.  The NEA presents The Big Read in partnership with Arts Midwest.
The Big Read answers a big need.  A 2004 report by the National Endowment for the Arts, found that not only is literary reading in America declining rapidly among all groups, but that the rate of decline has accelerated, especially among the young. 

For Month of February, each branch will have different Big Read Suggested books displayed.  We encourage everyone to try suggested classic, or try NEW book or author!

The Big Read:
Cabool: The Missing Piece  by Shel Silverstein
Houston: Gone With the Wind  by Margaret Mitchell
Licking: The Yearling  by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Summersville: The Scarlet Letter  by Nathaniel Hawthorne
