ALL ALEXANDRIA READS 2023

 

Celebrate "JOY" this year with All Alexandria Reads!

ABOUT THE BOOKS

Celebrate "JOY" this year with All Alexandria Reads! In 2023, we are highlighting two titles. The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, a memoir by Elisabeth Tova Bailey, describes the joy and rewards the author found while closely observing a common woodland snail as she remained bedridden from a long illness. Remarkably Bright Creatures, a novel by Shelby Van Pelt, tells the story of widowed aquarium employee Tova, who forms a friendship with Marcellus, a giant octopus who is determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Tova's missing son.

From March 20 through May, join us for a wide-range of special programs and events for all ages, both virtual and in-person. Look for our brochure at the end of March, and check out our AAR website for details and to register for events.

ABOUT ALL ALEXANDRIA READS
