2021 CNY Reads Events
All CNY Reads events are free and open to the public. Many of our book discussions are hosted by public libraries. One need not be a patron of the host library to register and participate in its book discussion.
It is beneficial to read the book before attending a discussion but it is not required that you do so. The Onondaga County Public Library has made arrangements for unlimited copies of Finding Dorothy to be available as an ebook. If you are not registered to check out ebooks, do so at onlib.org. Call the library if you have any questions or issues pertaining to checking out a book.
