NYS LitTree's 'What Are You Reading?' Program

ABOUT NYS LITTREE'S "WHAT ARE YOU READING?" PROGRAM

New York State LitTree created the "What Are You Reading?" program in response to the National Endowment for the Arts Report on Reading in America. The purpose of the program is to encourage reading and discussion of books among friends and acquaintances.

For the LitTree program, participants may:

Buy a book
Read it
Print out the form on the LitTree web site
Sign on the front of the form, checking whether they wish the book returned to them or not
Comment on the reverse of the form.
Place the form in the book and mail to a friend. Books selected may be nonfiction, fiction, or poetry.

If participants choose to do so, they may send a copy of their comments to nyslittree@stny.rr.com, with What Are You Reading? In the subject line. Comments may then be used, anonymously, as a springboard for an online forum about the book.
