Meanwhile, New York City has launched a new program called "One Book, One New York" to encourage all city residents to read the same book. The initiative allows New Yorkers in all five boroughs to vote on one of five books to start reading in the month of March. Residents can vote online or in kiosks in subway stations until February 28. The effort is an attempt to give small bookstores throughout the city a boost and, as the program's title suggests, create a sense of community among the city's readers.
