The Big Marion Read
Activities Begin September 2026!
We’re turning the page on something exciting. . . introducing The Big Marion Read!
The Big Marion Read is a community-wide reading experience that invites residents to connect in a new way. Through free programs, conversations, and events, The Big Marion Read will encourage residents of all ages to connect through literature, storytelling, and community dialogue.
To support The Big Marion Read, the library is proud to announce it has been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read grant. An initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read brings communities together through the shared experience of reading and discussing a book.
More information and ways to participate will be announced soon! Updates regarding The Big Marion Read can be found on the library’s social media and website.
