KYSU is excited to announce its win of a third consecutive Big Read grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The aim is to raise the level of literacy and interest in literature in Franklin County.
This year, the Big Read will focus on To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book follows the trial of an African American man who is accused of raping a white woman. A white lawyer takes his case, and as a result, he and his children are shunned and ridiculed by the town.
The Big Read will run from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15 with book discussions held in the Paul Sawyier Public Library in Frankfort and the Paul G. Blazer Library on KYSU's campus, in local high schools and with movie screenings throughout the month.
Specific Calendar Events:
Big Read of Frankfort Kick-Off Event/Keynote Address Kickoff activities include: proclamation from Kentucky governor and mayor of Frankfort, remarks from local and state political and educational leaders, theatrical readings, and door prizes.
