The Adult Winter Reading Program was an annual initiative of the Kansas City Public Library aimed at encouraging leisure reading among adults. Every year, the program advanced a different theme as a means of recommending literary classics and overlooked gems to the reading public.
Kansas City is consistently ranked among the top 10 cities nationwide in terms of Library usage * – a status that should be celebrated and rewarded, which are both part of the goal of the Adult Winter Reading Program.
(*According to the 2016 Central Connecticut State University study, "America's Most Literate Cities.")
