Big Read Lakeshore explores identity, the American dream in this year's book selections 

The Lakeshore

This year’s Big Read Lakeshore is supported by a $2,500 grant from Michigan Humanities, which will help fund Morales’s visit to Holland. Additionally, the Herrick District Library received a $20,000 grant from Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, to support the program. 
 
Since its inception in 2014, the Big Read Lakeshore has grown significantly, expanding to include Muskegon in 2022 and engaging an estimated 20,000 participants annually. The initiative, which aims to bring the community together through shared reading experiences, was named Statewide Community Partner of the Year in 2021 by Michigan Humanities.
