Why did you choose this book?

Most readers can relate to family secrets, hidden longing, and loneliness. The accessibility of Ng’s main themes will allow us to easily interface with different

populations across the community, from high schools to retirees.

Ng’s work also stood out because it eerily mirrors Bloomington and Monroe County. As a mid-sized college town, Bloomington is uniquely cosmopolitan

compared to the surrounding area. Our sizable Asian and Asian-American student population creates a notable demographic distinction. The challenges that the

Lee family faces with fitting in should prove relevant to our community’s international populations and eye-opening to domestic readers.

In many communities, including college towns, the pressure parents place on their children to succeed and teen depression can be found. Time, November 7, 2016

feature article on the topic, began the piece with a young woman who cut herself to achieve “a momentary escape from the anxiety she was fighting constantly,

about grades, about her future, about relationships, about everything.” (p.44) This could describe Ng’s Lydia.

Please describe your community where programming will take place.

Bloomington, the center of Monroe County, Indiana is a culturally-diverse melting pot of families, international students, long-time residents and retirees. The

presence of Indiana University (Big 10) adds to the dynamic of what would otherwise be a small town. The 2010 Census estimated Monroe County was home to

about 138,000 people, with a median age of just 23.4. The last American FactFinder Data shows 12% of the Bloomington population speak a language other than

English primarily and 58% of foreign-born Bloomington residents were born in Asia*. These multi-cultural influences make Everything I Never Told You a

perfect Big Read for Monroe County.

Bloomington prides itself on being open, accepting, and forward-thinking, from the programs we bring in to the way the city, county, and community work

together for the common good. Monroe County citizens enjoy and encourage discourse and collaboration. There is a strong academic presence while the arts

(performance and other mediums) play a huge role in cultural development. *https://bloomington.in.gov/media/media/application/pdf/102.pdf

Organization Description

Describe your organization’s history, programming, and achievements.

For 51 years, the Monroe County Public Library Foundation (dba Friends of Monroe County Public Library) have

supported the mission, vision, and values of the Library. The Friends advocate for Monroe County Public Library and

support library collections, services, programs, and staff development. The Friends operate a successful used Bookstore in

the Main Library generating more than $90,000 in annual revenue. They have an active volunteer Board of Directors with

21 members. They employ a full-time office manager with an office in the Library Administration as well as a Bookstore

manager. The Friends donate more than $100,000 each year to the Library. About 800 households consider themselves

“Friends of the Library” with their memberships and donations to our annual Campaign for Excellence. We partner with

local restaurants to offer a monthly Dine Out for the Library. We offer four Coffee with Friends programs each year and

an annual meeting open to the public featuring a local author guest speaker. The Friends also advocate for the Library and

encourage community literacy by bringing nationally recognized, award-winning authors and their works to the

community in the form of a biannual event called Power of Words.

Describe your organization’s experience with presenting community-wide programming that demonstrates an ability to

conduct a successful NEA Big Read.

The Power of Words: Changing Our World—One Author at a Time is a bi-annual author event presented by the Friends

of the Library in partnership with Monroe County Public Library. The program’s mission is to create a visible community

of readers by hosting an author writing on important topics of our time—and more specifically, topics that speak to the

average citizen’s ability to positively change the world in which we live. The program started in 2007 with a visit by

nationally acclaimed novelist, poet, and storyteller, Luis Alberto Urrea. Subsequently, the Friends hosted Rick Bragg

(2009), James McBride (2011), Nicole Mones (2013), and Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell for

their award-winning March series (2015). Our Power of Words events have been centered around the principles of Read,

Discuss, and Meet, with a month of related programming leading up to the main author talk. In 2015, we added Act to

those principles, partnering with local schools and organizations to bring the authors’ work to as many people as possible.

We extended our reach further into the community in 2015 establishing new partnerships, inviting them to join the

community conversation through book discussions, wisdom circles, film series, art talks and exhibits, and more. Having

gotten a taste of what is possible, these partners are excited to get more involved and reach more people through the Big

Read in 2017. For the first time in 2015 we created an interactive calendar on the website featuring the community events,

and provided biographies, videos about the books, lists of recommended books, music, and movies, and event

information, and resources for teachers and parents to discuss the issues. The Library received the 2016 Indiana Library

Federation Programming Award for this event. Reviewers were impressed with the breadth of programming, website, and

number of people attending an author talk. John Lewis shared this was the best organized event he had been a part of.

Project Description

Describe your programming plans in detail. Provide details on the types of activities, target audiences for those activities,

locations, and intended dates. Explain how your activities will engage audiences with your selected book.

For Monroe County’s NEA Big Read 2017 we will continue building on the success of The Friends of the Library and

Monroe County Public Library’s biannual event, The Power of Words: Changing Our World—One Author at a Time.

Since 2007 the Friends and the Library have supported a community-wide reading initiative that has culminated with the

author giving a free talk. This year’s selection is the Big Read title Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng. This

gripping and sensitive family portrait about the immigrant and bi-racial American experience provides an excellent

opportunity to explore important issues in our University town. We expect these topics to resonate as our community

grapples with issues of diversity and the town-and-gown divide.

We will kick off the Big Read during the annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, September 28–October 1 with an

evening musical showcase and presentation of the Big Read selection with our key partners. The Lotus Festival has

presented artists from 120+ countries over the past 23 years and attracts 12,000+ people yearly. In addition, we will host a

booth Saturday, Sept 30 at the free Lotus in the Park with crafts and activities for children, as well as information about all

Big Read events and copies of Everything I Never Told You available for pick up. Lotus has chosen a theme of

“Storytelling” through music and art for this year’s festival and is very excited to partner with us.

The highlight of our 2017 Big Read will be our Power of Words event; an evening with Celeste Ng at the historic

Buskirk-Chumley Theater in downtown Bloomington. This free public event will give the community the opportunity to

meet the author of our Big Read selection. The Library’s award-winning Community Access Television Services will tape

the event and air it live on television and live streamed online, as well as broadcast it for weeks following the event.

Leading up to Celeste Ng’s visit will include a variety of programs, highlighted by book discussions of Everything I

Never Told You and related titles. The Library will host and coordinate a dozen book discussions for the general public

and special groups, including senior centers, City government, local businesses, and nonprofits. The Library will add the

book to its popular Book Club Kits To Go, making multiple copies of the book, along with discussion resources, available

for checkout for area book clubs. The Library will coordinate and host a film series and children and teen programs with

discussions of related, age-appropriate titles including Harriet, the Spy which was a favorite book of Ng and inspired the

youngest character, Hannah, in Everything I Never Told You.

We are working with Indiana University, Ivy Tech Community College, the City of Bloomington, and other partners to

host arts, cultural, and discussion Big Read programs in the 6-weeks leading up to the evening with Ng. We are partnering

with several groups at IU, including the Asian American Association and Asian Culture Center, to host discussions related

to Ng’s book, which fits well with IU’s themester topic: Diversity, Difference, Otherness. The City of Bloomington will

host Wisdom Circles, where elders from the Asian-American community discuss their experiences with younger

residents. Local theater groups are planning cultural events, including discussions of otherness with public school students

around Cardinal Stage Company’s presentation of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and a Monroe County Civic Theater radio

dramatization of scenes from Ng’s book in conjunction with WFHB our community radio station. Women Writing for a

Change is planning writing programs on family and race, and partnering with New Leaf, New Life to bring the program to

women incarcerated in the County. Bloomington Cooking School will host a themed program for the book. The Friends

and Library are also planning arts programs and talks with the IU Art Museum as part of its Museum Without Walls

series.

disciplinary exposure to issues. The Themester 2017 theme engages diversity by considering how “otherness” has been

constructed through time and space including how it is represented in literature, allowing us an opportunity to cross-

promote events and bridge the gap, promoting dialogue between the university and county residents. Confirmed.

Cardinal Stage Company, a professional theatre in Bloomington, offers high-quality productions in tandem with outreach

and educational initiatives. Building on the community conversation of “otherness,” Cardinal will offer a new adaptation

of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein from Oct 26-Nov 5 with their Cardinal for Schools initiative allowing school classes to

attend performances while discussing the issues in the play in their classrooms. Confirmed.

Told You. Confirmed.

Confirmed.

The Library is the center for nonprofit organizations in the County, providing meeting space and resources through our

Nonprofit Central. We will invite organizations and businesses to a Big Read informational meeting where they can learn

about hosting book discussions and programs related to the book’s themes. The Big Read Grant will allow us to offer free

copies of the book for those who organize Big Read programs for their constituencies. This will allow the Big Read to be

a collaborative experience for the entire community, reach a broader audience, and utilize the resources and creative

talents of diverse organization

Promotional Description

(a) Describe how you will promote your programming. Discuss any proposed or existing partnerships with specific media

outlets. (b) Explain how your program will utilize the digital resources found on neabigread.org, and copies of your

reading selection.

Monroe County Public Library’s award-winning Communications & Marketing Department will create and execute a

marketing plan built around the core idea of empowering our Big Read partners to extend our reach to the community.

Through a package of digital and print materials, along with display concepts and talking points, our various partners will

have ready-to-go publicity at their fingertips. In addition, they will create and push out a large-scale video publicity plan.

Our digital campaign will be essential to reaching new audiences and enabling community members to discover the

variety of programs and book discussions being offered, learn more about our author Celeste Ng, find where free copies of

the book are available, and find enriching materials related to the various topics explored in the novel Everything I Never

Told You. The core of the digital campaign will be a comprehensive, interactive website providing easy to find

information about the Big Read. In concert with the website will be ready-to-go graphics and text for the Library and

partner’s social media accounts and eNewsletters with core information and directing people to the website. These tools

will also be deployed for community members to share on their own personal social media accounts—word of mouth is

always our greatest marketing tool.

Echoing our comprehensive digital campaign and website will be a variety of print materials, which will be distributed

through the Library, our partners, and area businesses and nonprofits. Print products will include a dedicated program

guide, bookmarks, palm cards, posters, and flyers. In addition, the Library will feature these print products alongside

visual merchandising displays in the Library highlighting Ng’s book and other read-a-likes for all audiences and related

topics. The Library will also feature giant advertisements installed on the outside of the Main Library in the center of

downtown. These display elements will also be available to partners to build their own displays. For instance, the City of

Bloomington will build a large display in City Hall.

The Library’s Communications & Marketing Department will also handle media relations, producing press releases and

multimedia content for media partners and local radio stations, newspapers, and magazines. Video content will be

produced and featured on the Library’s community access TV channel, online, and featured in a large-scale campaign at

Bloomington’s two movie theater complexes. For the 13 weeks leading up to our main event with Celeste Ng, a 30-second

video spot will be run before every movie on all 23 movie screens for a total of 8,372 showings. In addition, TV screens

in the lobby of the movie theaters will run the video spot every 12 minutes, for a total of 88,602 impressions. We expect

this messaging to reach new audiences across our entire community.

To support the Big Read and encourage active partner participation, we plan to purchase a minimum of 1,000 copies of

Everything I Never Told You to be distributed throughout the community. All active partners will be given copies to

support their programming and display initiatives, as well as any in-house reading discussions they organize. The Friends

and Library will plan outreach events to discuss the Big Read and give away free copies of the book, including at the

Library’s Bookmobile stops in rural areas of our county and through outreach programs already designed to reach new

audiences and audiences with barriers to accessing traditional Library services with our outreach van, homebound service,

and new this fall, a book bike funded by the Friends to deliver services on the go. Every free copy of the book will contain

a bookplate on the inside cover detailing the Big Read event and highlighting the website, as well as containing a printed

insert with discussion questions and other resources to enrich the reading experience.
