Go Big Read Asks…What should we read next?

Read any good books lately?! Chancellor Rebecca Blank and a review committee of campus faculty, staff, students (and public librarians) are asking for your suggestions for the 2020-2021 Go Big Read program.

Again, as a theme for this next year, your suggestions–either fiction or nonfiction titles–should be those that examine contemporary issues.

Deadline is approaching fast! Submit your recommendations by completing the online form by November 30, 2019.

The ideal book selection should meet and exceed the following qualities:

• Be readable (relevant, engaging, and well-written).
• Appeal to readers with diverse backgrounds and experiences in order to facilitate discussions from different points of view (it could even have a Wisconsin connection by its topic or author affiliation).
• Be conducive to teaching and learning with opportunities for integration into a wide variety of academic programs.
• Lend itself to a mix of activities and programming.

Go Big Read will welcome your participation with this new book during the forthcoming academic year.
