THE BIG READ at the Bullard Community Library
Do you like classics? Do you want to read more classics but don’t get around to it? Don’t know which one to choose?
We have 14 CD programs that introduce the following titles. These can be checked out, along with the books. After you have read a book, let us know what you think.
You can organize a group for a brown bag lunch and listen to one of the programs and discuss the book. Or you can write a review of the book, and we’ll share it with others.
If you’re interested in THE BIG READ, contact Debbie Brown, Library Director.
Following are the available CD programs:
Rudolfo Anaya, “Bless Me Ultima”

The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, designed to restore reading to the center of American culture. The NEA presents The Big Read in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and in cooperation with Arts Midwest. The Big Read brings together partners across the country to encourage reading for pleasure and enlightenment.
The Big Read answers a big need. Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America, a 2004 report by the National Endowment for the Arts, found that not only is literary reading in America declining rapidly among all groups, but that the rate of decline has accelerated, especially among the young. The concerned citizen in search of good news about American literary culture would study the pages of this report in vain.
Join THE BIG READ at the Bullard Community Library and do your part in encouraging literary reading.
