The Big Read

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

We invite you to read (or re-read) Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird.  The Big Read is a community-wide reading program for Western Oakland County - read the book, then pass it on and talk about it with neighbors, friends, and family. Join us at our kickoff on February 27 or our featured musical event on March 6 to pick up your copy of the book.
