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 three shortlist book titles, each calendar year for three age groups: children (ages 10-12), 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.

All CT Reads. All people, all books, all CT Reads. In Partnership with EBSCO. All CT Reads is supported by a generous grant from EBSCO Information Services to the Connecticut Heritage Foundation.
