Spoon River Reads

SPOON RIVER READS is a district-wide community literacy project originally funded through the National Endowment for the Arts THE BIG READ project.  Each fall since 2007, the Spoon River College Foundation, Parlin Ingersoll Public Library, and over 25 community organizations, businesses and educational institutions have promoted a love of reading through book discussions, activities, events and celebrations.  Books selected include To Kill a Mockingbird, Fahrenheit 451, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the Works of Edgar Allan Poe, and My Antonia.  Spoon River Reads continues to be one of the district’s most popular outreach projects.
