The Big Read

The Big Read is an initiative aimed at encouraging reading and promoting literacy by engaging communities with a specific book or range of books. Participants are invited to read and discuss the chosen text, often accompanied by events, workshops, and discussions to deepen their understanding. This program fosters a love for reading, connects people through shared literary experiences, and often highlights diverse voices, genres, or themes. It seeks to create a sense of community around reading and to emphasize the importance of literature in personal and collective growth.
