Attleboro's Big Read
2009
The Big Read is an
initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in partnership with the
Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest.
This program
provides citizens with the opportunity to read and discuss a single book
within their community.
Join the Attleboro Big
Read/Attleboro's 1ABC as we explore this American icon of literature.

writings on Poe's mysterious life.
Participate in the activities and the discussions scheduled between
