The Big Read kicks off on February 6. Community members can sign up to participate in one of three marathon read-a-louds: at the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights, at the City Center in White Plains and at the Yonkers Riverfront Library. All are welcome to come out and read a bit of the book.

The Big Read is back
During February and March of 2010, everyone in Westchester will be reading one book — Tim O’Brien’s fictionalized Vietnam memoir The Things They Carried.
The Big Read transforms reading from an isolated activity to one that links you to other community members. Colleges, cultural organizations, local libraries and community groups, are collaborating with ArtsWestchester to make dozens of programs and activities related to The Things They Carried available to you.
You’ll find programs that provide important historical context, that explore the nature of war, that look at arts and culture during the Vietnam era, that bring the book to life on stage...and much, much more.
A complete list of programs and activities can found at www.artswestchester.org.
