Check out the links below to see what is going in your neck of the woods. What a great idea! I love that we're the kind of place that supports Sportsman's Island features one day and cultural literacy programs the next!
"Dozens of programs and events are scheduled in September and October to celebrate The Charleston County Big Read – a first-time, community-wide effort to promote literacy, celebrate diversity and recognize the significance of community connections by bringing people together to read and discuss a single book.
The Big Read, created by the National Endowment for the Arts, is being coordinated locally by Charleston County Public Library and runs September 9th-October 14th. This is one of 117 communities nationwide selected by the NEA to launch Big Read projects this fall.
The Charleston County Big Read is Zora Neale Hurston’s 1937 book, Their Eyes Were Watching God, about a young, vivacious African-American woman struggling to find her voice, her identity and the meaning of true love. This powerful and lyrical book is perfect for the Lowcountry with its rich Gullah heritage coupled with the desire to honor and preserve the Gullah traditions."
