Grants for Libraries now available for PBS Series: The Great American Read 

On May 22, PBS will launch a new show The Great American Read. The television series features entertaining and informative documentary segments, with compelling testimonials from celebrities, authors, notable Americans and book lovers across the country. It is comprised of the two-hour launch episode in which the list of 100 books is revealed, five one-hour theme episodes that examine concepts common to groups of books on the list, and a finale, in which the results are announced of a nationwide vote to choose America’s best-loved book. 

The Florida Humanities Council and FLA are proud to co-sponsor the Florida public broadcast of this engaging series. To learn more about The Great American Read click here.
