2011 READ ON! - A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA
August 1, 2011
The READ ON! community read project is coordinated by the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center and designed to bring neighbors, friends and families together in a community-wide discussion of one great book. READ ON! combines book discussions with several related events, including performances, literary programs, community forums and film screenings.
READ ON! is modeled after the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read program that was “designed to revitalize the role of literary reading in American popular culture,” born out of the Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America, a 2004 NEA report, which identified a critical decline in reading for pleasure among American adults. The Big Read addresses this issue by bringing communities together to read, discuss, and celebrate books and writers from American and world literature. The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center addresses this issue with our own annual Community Read, held each year in October.
Made possible in 2011 by the Charles E. and Mary Elizabeth Scripps Family Foundation.
2011 READ ON! partners include, The Mason County Library, Fleming County Library, Maysville Community and Technical College, The Ledger-Independent newspaper, Licking Valley Campus of the MCTCS, Maysville Culutural Arts District Association, and R.S.V.P. of Maysville.
