THE GREAT AMERICAN READ — TWO-HOUR LAUNCH — TUESDAY, MAY 22 AT 8PM ON WXXI-TV This TV series and nationwide campaign explores the joy of books and the power of reading. Designed to spark a national conversation about reading and the books that have inspired, moved and shaped us, The Great American Read kicks off with a two-hour special hosted by Meredith Vieira. Vieira will take viewers on a journey across the country to uncover the nation’s 100 most-loved novels, the people who love them and their authors. Following the broadcast and throughout the summer, we invite you to read and engage in the conversation by visiting the interactive website and voting for your favorite book on the list at pbs.org/greatamericanread. The TV series will return in September with a recap and additional themed episodes exploring the nominated books, leading up to the reveal of “America’s Best-Loved Novel” on October 23.
Local support for The Great American Read is provided by Cobblestone Capital Advisors and Fidelis Care.
