Capital City Reads is Carson City Library’s annual community-wide reading initiative, proudly funded by the Friends of the Carson City Library. Each April, we invite everyone in our community to come together to read, reflect, and connect through a shared book experience.

This all-ages program encourages discussion, inspires events, and helps strengthen community ties—one page at a time.

📅 How It Works

• Each year, library staff carefully select a thought-provoking title that encourages conversation and exploration.

• Throughout April, we host a variety of programs and events related to the book’s themes—like book discussions, author talks, hands-on activities, and more.

• Free copies of the selected book are often available at the library while supplies last, thanks to generous support from the Friends of the Carson City Library.
