An initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership
with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest, The
Big Read is designed to encourage literary reading by having everyone
in a single community read the same book. Local events and
programs for The Big Read are presented by Golden Isles Arts and
Humanities Association (GIAHA), in partnership with the Brunswick-Glynn
County Library and the Glynn County School System. All activities
are open to the public. In addition to the events planned for
this week, anyone can go to a special web site
(www.giaha.wordpress.com) and participate in an ongoing online blog
discussion about Bradbury’s chilling story of a world in which books
are burned while the public sits by in a media-induced haze. The
site also has links to more information about the book and its author,
as well as details about a writing contest for all Glynn County
students in grades 6 through 12.
For a complete schedule of Big Read events (through Oct. 6th), visit www.goldenislesarts.org or call 912-262-6934.
