After the positive response and public reception of our 2022 and 2023 NEA Big Read: Lawton events, we are excited to unite the community again through the reading of one book and through the hosting of multiple book discussions, as well as other activities and events inspired by the theme of where we live as depicted by The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir by Thi Bui.
