Hopefully you have heard about The Big Read somewhere through your children's schools but for those of us who don't have children or at least children in school, we sometimes lose touch with the importance of reading.  The Big Read is part of a national campaign to help promote reading as a cornerstone of American culture and is an opportunity for commuities to come together to read, discuss, and celebrate world literature.  The Big Read has been made available to El Dorado County residents by El Dorado Arts Council and El Dorado County Libraries through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

For our Big Read: Wild in El Dorado County was chosen as our theme and
Wild LogoJack London's Call of the Wild was selected as our book to read.  For the months of February and March 2010 there will be a variety of events and activities. Part of the sponsorship for this includes free copies of the book (so no one needs to be left out) which are available at all El Dorado County Libraries, the El Dorado Arts Council, and the El Dorado County Office of Education, while supplies last. You can also check on line at The Big Read website for more locations.

The Big Read website is filled with more information including a schedule of events.  You can find it at http://eldoradocountybigread.org/.
