Let All CT Reads Begin!
Why All CT Reads?
We want a way to read together. We want continuous conversations across Connecticut. We want to offer avenues of participation for spaces big and small to talk about inclusivity, cultures, acceptance, mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AAu58SNSyc>. We want adventure, mystery, and relationships, too. We wanted a line up of books that looks just like this one.
All books. All people. All CT Reads.

Books for Borrowing

*All the supply chain and shipping delays only impacted two titles which will be coming soon.



About All CT Reads

All CT Reads is a year-long initiative to promote lifelong reading, learning, and connection that uses a rotating community committee structure to select one main book title 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.
