As the Montana Center for the Book, we support public book clubs in rural communities that engage in thought-provoking discussions about literature. Big Sky Reads is also a Facebook group! This is a great resource to find new books, new participants, discussion questions, and facilitators. It is also a place to build our statewide community of readers. Jump into the conversation.
