ALL ALEXANDRIA READS 2024

 

Celebrate "COURAGE" this year with All Alexandria Reads!

ABOUT THE BOOKS

Celebrate "COURAGE" this year with All Alexandria Reads! In 2024, we are highlighting two titles. Brave the Wild River, a nonfiction story by Melissa Sevigny, describes the expectation-defying journey of two female botanists to document the plants of the Grand Canyon. Black Cake, a novel by Charmaine Wilkerson, tells the story of an extraordinary journey through the life of a family changed forever by the choices of its matriarch.

From March 8 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 your local Alexandria Library branch in mid-March.

All Alexandria Reads is made possible through a generous grant from the James M. Duncan, Jr. Library Foundation, Inc.
