| “The Big Read is an
initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the
Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest.” The program
provides citizens with the opportunity to read and discuss a single book
within their community. Attleboro’s 1 ABC- Attleboro’s 1 Adventure 1 Book 1 Community is a committee formed by the Attleboro Public Library as part of the 100th Celebration in November 2007. Members are pursuing community building through literacy and the shared experience of reading the same book- Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. We agree with the NEA’s assessment that a democracy needs readers willing to discuss and exchange ideas about what they read. The committee has already decided to expand and continue the literacy efforts for 2008. |
