We're just a few weeks away!

Launching in January 2022, All CT Reads is a year-long initiative to promote lifelong reading, learning, and connection that uses a rotating community committee structure to select three main book titles and 3 shortlist book titles, each calendar year for three age groups: children (ages 8-12), teens (ages 13-18), and adults. In addition to the books, All CT Reads provides a supported programmatic structure built around the titles with room for individuality and creativity.

Join us for an extra-special virtual launch with the authors of all three 2022 All CT Reads primary selections - Kat Leyh, author of Snapdragon, our children's pick; Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, authors of One of the Good Ones, our teen pick; and Yaa Gyasi, author of Transcendent Kingdom, our adult pick. Each author will discuss their work and answer questions from our community. You will also learn about the All CT Reads program and get an overview of the resources available from the CT State Library to support All CT Reads events at your library all year long.



The All CT Reads website is growing!

The All CT Reads website started off with the basics but we are now excited to share that there is so much more! Each of the 12 books has its own page full of book and author wraparound resources, discussion guides, author interviews, and more.
