[Purpose/significance] To understand the implementation, types and characteristics of the "common reading program" in North American universities, and to provide reference and reference for the promotion of reading in Chinese university libraries.[Method/process] Through investigating the official websites of North American universities, we collected, organized and analyzed the information related to the "common reading program", and summarized five distinctive features:aligning with the strategy of the parent institution and making the specialized institution responsible for it;realizing the "common reading program"by means of "discussion session";going beyond the mere "reading activities" and pursuing multi-directional integration; broadening the base of students' diversified literacy through "common reading";and promoting the "common reading" through multi-dimensional assessment. [Result/conclusion] The promotion of reading in university libraries in China needs to pay attention to the following aspects:rooting in the goals and positioning of the parent institution; attaching importance to the participation of teachers and providing them with necessary support; realizing the integration and crossover of multiple practices through "reading"; relying on "reading" to expand students' multiple literacies; enriching the assessment dimension and reflecting the value of contribution to the university.
