NEA GRANT AWARDED TO THE ST. TAMMANY PARISH LIBRARY
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) chose only 78 organizations to
participate in THE BIG READ initiative, and the Louisiana Endowment for the
Humanities selected the St. Tammany Parish Library as one of three Louisiana
library systems to participate. This is a competitive grant and we are proud to
announce that our library system was chosen to participate.
The Big Read is designed to put reading at the center of our cultural experiences.
Our community will host a number of reading programs centered on the book, The
Things They Carried, by Tim O’Brien. Discussions, lectures, films, and performing
arts events will be part of the rich offerings of activities to accompany community
read-a-thons of the book.
