The Big Read
A community-wide reading initiative designed to bring an entire community together through reading and discussing the same great book. Miami Valley residents vote to select "The Big Read" book each year. Friends, co-workers, neighbors and strangers then read the book and join together for thought-provoking discussions and Big Read events. This six-week program is held annually in late winter/early spring. Stay tuned - more details will be announced at your nearest library, bookstore, and through the Dayton Daily News.
