The NEA Big Read

The NEA Big Read is a program by the National Endowment for the Arts that promotes community engagement through a shared reading experience. It selects a single book each year, encouraging groups to read and discuss it through events like book clubs, discussions, and performances. The goal is to foster understanding, dialogue, and appreciation of different cultures and ideas by bringing people together around a common literary experience, strengthening community connections and enriching public dialogue through literature.
