The Big Read

With a Public Performance license from Movie Licensing USA, your library can legally show movies in conjunction with The Big Read initiative! Help encourage your patrons to read for pleasure and enjoyment by enhancing your reading program with a film screening and book to movie discussion.

Create a book display, host a film festival series and show movies such as The Great Gatsby based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic, or The Joy Luck Club, a story about Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters. Check out other books from The Big Read and their related movies below.
