Comer Library Director, Shirley Spears, presented Tom
Sawyer books and materials to Sylacauga High School, Comer High School
and Fayetteville High School as a part of Alabama's BIG READ
celebration. The 2010 focus on Mark Twain and his
Tom Sawyer book is a part of the first ever statewide
Big Read. The program is an initiative of the
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in partnership with
the Institute of Museum and Library Services designed to
revitalize the role of reading in the American culture.
Nine regions of Alabama received Big Read grants to
promote and carry out community -based reading programs.
