Thanks for a Great Big Read!

Readers at the Kick-Off

Thanks to all who participated in the Wichita area's first Big Read! For those of you who participated, please SEND US YOUR FEEDBACK! What did you think of The Big Read book, events, and/or discussions? If the Big Read continues in the area next year, would you participate again? What would you keep the same? What would you change? Please send your thoughts to bigreadwichita@gmail.com

While the Big Read has finished its offical run, there are more opportunities to interact with and celebrate Willa Cather’s "My Ántonia." Read and join in online book discussions, attend several special events and exhibits from The Big Read - Wichita partners--and make reading a lifelong habit.
