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%7CKymberlee.Powe%40ct.gov%7Ced7621f9390d4f4781bc08daf2516737%7C118b7cfaa3dd48b9b02631ff69bb738b%7C0%7C0%7C638088728679944395%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=GFQojWwGpT%2B%2BLaQBPVIT%2B03oYDfEdnJhtOt%2Ff0pXvNY%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%7CKymberlee.Powe%40ct.gov%7Ced7621f9390d4f4781bc08daf2516737%7C118b7cfaa3dd48b9b02631ff69bb738b%7C0%7C0%7C638088728679944395%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Rp2lkWmMIVaP0e2xrOZYgYX5o7sef8w%2BUHbrTKPP7zg%3D&reserved=0> that looks just like this one.
