The Big Read 2025: Miami-Dade Public Library Branch Book Discussions
Join us for a discussion of this year’s title, SANDRA CISNEROS’ novel THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, a novella told in vignettes capturing a year in the life of a 12-year-old girl in a small Chicago community marked by poverty and limitation, but alive with beauty and resilience. A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. Program made possible by Miami Book Fair; space is limited.
