| About The Big Read |
What is The Big Read?In short, the Big Read is all about communities reading the same book, then getting together to talk about it. The six-week reading event is sponsored by local libraries, bookstores, non-profit organizations, and the Dayton Daily News. A group of people from these organizations selects a list of possible titles each year. They not only look for a great read, but one that could spark discussion. Each fall, a vote on those titles at area libraries and on The Dayton Daily News website gives the public a chance to cast their ballot for the next Big Read book.
Cities across the country have their own community read events. Here in the Miami Valley, 2011 will be the sixth year for the Big Read.
Look for an opportunity to vote for the following year’s Big Read selection each fall. Former Nominees and Winning Big Read Selections2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 |
