NEA Big Read Lakeshore, and its sibling programs - Middle Read, Little Read, and Mini Read, are annual community-wide reading programs focused on bringing readers together over the shared experience of a common book. The programs, in collaboration with over 100 community partners (libraries, schools, non-profit organizations) in Ottawa, Allegan, and Muskegon counties, offer over 150 book-themed events every October and November for readers of all ages.
