About The Big Read
The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment of the Arts that encourages literacy and reading culture in local communities.
The inaugural Big Read in the Bronx was held in March and April of 2008, with a celebration of the classic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird.
More than 1,200 free books were distributed, many to individuals who had never owned a book before.
2008-09 Key Partners were The New York Yankees Foundation, The New York Times, Barnes & Noble
and Hostos Community College of the City University of New York..
