One Book/One Community
The Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library received for the third year a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to host The Big Read with financial support from the Friends of the Stockton Public Library and Library and Literacy Foundation for San Joaquin. The Big Read provides the opportunity for communities to come together to read, discuss, and celebrate one of 23 selections from American and world literature. The Big Read 2010 in San Joaquin County will focus on "Call of the Wild" by Jack London. The Library kicks-off The Big Read April 17th.
The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest. Visit www.neabigread.org for more information on the national Big Read program.
