| | Central New York Reads [CNY Reads] |
 | | The CNY Reads Consortium, currently coordinated by Onondaga County Public Library, and consisting of a rapidly expanding group of Central New York partners, promotes reading, research, discovery, and sharing of perspectives among local citizens by encouraging them to read the same book and to participate in programs related to that book. |
 | | CNY Reads aspires to use its shared reading program as a catalyst for greater community dialogue, collaboration, and understanding about issues and themes raised through our book selections. |
 | | With a commitment to expand the number of diverse cultural, educational, and social-service institutions participating in CNY Reads, the consortium is creating a new model for community building and programming while celebrating the written word. |
