The CT State Library Division of Library Development held an extra-special virtual launch with the authors of the 2024 All CT Reads primary selections - Kelly Yang, author of Finally Seen, our kids pick; Nick Brooks, author of Promise Boys, our teen pick; and Daniel Black, author of Don't Cry For Me, our adult pick. Each author discussed their work and answered questions from our community.

*Please note, this is the recording of the full program, and we will be posting each author's section individually later this week. We wanted to share as soon as we could!

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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AAu58SNSyc>. We want adventure, mystery, and relationships, too. We wanted a line-up of books<https://bit.ly/AllCTReads.> that looks just like this one.
Our Partners and Sponsors
All CT Reads is an initiative of the Connecticut State Library Division of Library Development and partners with the Connecticut Library Consortium (CLC) and the Connecticut Association for School Librarians (CASL).

All CT Reads is supported by a generous grant from EBSCO Information Services to the Connecticut Heritage Foundation.
