As many universities and communities across the country are hosting campus/community reading programs, we thought it would be a good idea for these programs to share ideas and experiences. We invite you to take a look at what others are doing, get new ideas, and make new contacts. If you would like to include your campus/community reading program on this list, please send your program name and website address to Rachel Forrester.

The National Resource Center also maintains a list of institutions with first year reading programs.
