What is NEA Big Read?
The NEA Big Read is a national reading program by the National Endowment for the Arts, run in partnership with Arts Midwest, that funds community-wide reading events built around a selected book. The book chosen for our community is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
These programs are free and open to the public and will continue through the end of the year. We will also be giving away free copies of The Great Gatsby, so stop by and pick up a copy!
