More coming in January 2023! While the website may look a bit barebones for now, there will be more - stay tuned! There will be rich book and author wraparound resources for each title including engagement resources like discussion questions, author videos, book reviews, and more. Come January 2023, we will have book discussion sets of all 12 titles available for borrowing from the Middletown Library Service Center.

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.



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://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_AAu58SNSyc&data=05%7C01%7CMaria.Bernier%40ct.gov%7Ca70dedf8fb0041726e4f08dac32bb417%7C118b7cfaa3dd48b9b02631ff69bb738b%7C0%7C0%7C638036889728225019%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=i2bqtdqjsont8oQDUFwZDARsb2i%2BPnirWeHkFJ%2BMQHk%3D&reserved=0>. We want adventure, mystery, and relationships, too. We wanted a line-up of books<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FAllCTReads.&data=05%7C01%7CMaria.Bernier%40ct.gov%7Ca70dedf8fb0041726e4f08dac32bb417%7C118b7cfaa3dd48b9b02631ff69bb738b%7C0%7C0%7C638036889728225019%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FFDwQq%2BZLBWhzIO1zFIiFnPTrrvUIim%2FzCCogNlXR5I%3D&reserved=0> that looks just like this one.
