Ray Bradbury's classic is the selected text for The Big Read 2008 in South Dakota. All across the city, people are reading the science fiction book that has been a hit since it was first published in 1953.

Join Sioux Falls readers in a great lineup of special events celebrating The Big Read! A group of volunteers lined up a little music, a little socializing, a writing contest, book discussion groups and some book giveaways, all to get you interested in Fahrenheit 451.
