Description

A Big Read is a month-long series of programs centered around one book selected from the list of available NEA Big Read reading selections. Programs include a kickoff, a keynote, book discussions, and other artistic events to foster engagement with the selected title and encourage community-wide reading.

Organizations selected to participate in the program receive a grant ($5,000-$15,000), access to educational and promotional materials, and online training resources. Approximately 75 organizations from across the country will be selected.
