September First Thursday - NEA Big Read Kick Off with Muncie Public Library
The NEA Big Read Kickoff comes to the first-floor Public Hall at MadJax during September’s First Thursday, hosted by Muncie Public Library. This free community event features free copies of the year’s two Big Read books, Filipino food tastings by Baryo, readings, family crafts, and interactive booths from local artists, vendors, and community partners.
Muncie Public Library is one of only 65 organizations nationwide to receive this prestigious grant, which will bring a year of free community programs celebrating reading, creativity, and connection.
This year’s Big Read features two powerful books:
Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees by Aimee Nezhukumatathil (for adults)
Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble Maillard (for youth)
Both explore the connections between food, family, culture, and gratitude—perfect themes for reflection and conversation.
