The NEA Big Read selection for 2024 is "There There," by Tommy Orange! In this novel, Orange traces the intersecting lives of 12 characters from Native communities whose voices and perspectives converge at the first ever Big Oakland Powwow.

NPL will host Newton's community Big Read discussion on Monday, April 15, at 6:30 p.m. Copies of the book are now available for borrowing.

A full slate of Big Read events is being planned across our region, including a kickoff party at Wichita's Advanced Learning Library, Saturday, March 16, at 2 p.m. For more info, go to www.wichitalibrary.org/bigread.
