Marion Library’s Big Read Launches | Cedar Rapids News

Marion Public Library is launching its first-ever “Big Read” program this fall, fueled by a $20,000 NEA grant to celebrate the U.S.’s 250th birthday—offering over 3,250 free copies of David McCullough’s “1776,” plus kid-friendly versions like “Scar” and “I Survived the American Revolution.” No library card or residency required. Events include book talks, cooking classes, games, and contests—all free through October 23—to unite the community around reading and history.
