The Great Read is proudly presented by Plainfield School District 202; the Plainfield Public Library; the Joliet Public Library; the Fountaindale Public Library; the Shorewood-Troy Public Library; Joliet Junior College; Plainfield Township; and the Joliet-area Barnes and Noble stores. The Great Read is also supported by generous grants from the Plainfield Foundation for Excellence (www.d202foundation.org); the Friends of the Plainfield Public Library; and additional funding from participating member organizations.

Artists of all ages from the Plainfield area are invited and encouraged to take part in the 2013 Great Read community literacy program’s "All About Abe Lincoln Art Contest."
