As we turn the page into a new year, it’s time to dive into a new chapter of our ALP Book Club! Whether you’re a seasoned member or just joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to have you in our reading circle. Our book club is not just about reading; it’s about connecting through stories, exploring diverse perspectives, and celebrating the power of women’s voices in literature.

We can’t express enough how excited we are for our third year of reading together with the ALP community. Each book this year has been selected to widen our horizons while offering the comfort and joy of a good story. Our monthly discussions are a safe space to share your thoughts, whether you’re critiquing a character or relating to a storyline.
