Where to Start? The Big Read: creating a nation of readers! The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Arts Midwest.

Why the Big Read? Designed to promote reading for pleasure -- to influence readers, non- readers, and reluctant readers alike Introduce or revisit classics in literature To supply a venue of communication in local communities

Why The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? On the NEA selected book list No Alabama public library has used it yet On school reading lists Promotes the idea of community which is a very important aspect of The Big Read Old favorite!

Statewide organization Alabama divided into 9 regions and applied for 9 grants Designed to make it easier to communicate, plan, and partner with local area as well as on a statewide level. Regional Project Coordinators in each region will coordinate events and assist the public libraries in their regions

When Will This Take Place? The Statewide Committee selected February through April of 2010 for statewide marketing campaign Individual communities can select the best time and length for their events whether a two week program, a three month program or something in-between

Participating Public Libraries Participation is voluntary Each public library participating is required to offer at least two programs: Kick-off Event Book Discussion

We Are Looking For… Links to free Mark Twain content, canned story times, coloring pages, activity sheets Inexpensive door prize items related to Twain or Tom Sawyer (erasers, toys) Posters & stand-ups

Continuation of Alabama Reads After evaluation of this pilot program, there will be a plan developed by the statewide committee to continue the Alabama Reads program. Future partnerships with NEA are most definitely in our plans! Continuing partnerships between schools and public libraries

Conclusion The printed word is not dead. Reading is FUN. Develop programs that will bring a community together. Find quality partners, like School Media Specialists, to make this program a bigger success.
