The Big Read
is now accepting applications from non-profit
organizations to develop
community-wide reading programs between September 2014 and June 2015. The Big
Read is a national program designed to revitalize the role of literature in
American culture and to encourage reading for pleasure and enlightenment.
Organizations selected to participate in The Big Read receive a grant,
promotional materials, access to online educational materials, training
resources and opportunities. Approximately 75 organizations from across the
country will be selected.
