The Big Read

Thursday, September 24 2pm and 5:30pm
The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded a Big Read grant to Chesapeake Children’s Museum. The goal of the program is to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. A meeting of community partners will be held at CCM on Thursday, September 24 at 2 pm and again at 5:30 pm to plan activities for around the county for all ages inspired by Mark Twain’s
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
NEA Chairman Jane Chu says, “The Big Read is a powerful example of how the arts can bring communities together and help us to connect with one another. Communities can share wonderful stories and characters and have meaningful conversations.”
