Online Book Club
"Books may well be the only true magic."
― Alice Hoffman
Connect with the Athabasca University community through this enriching initiative designed in celebration of AU’s 50th anniversary.
Join the conversation, expand your bookshelf, and explore topics related to personal growth, lifelong learning, and professional development in a private online forum.
Participation in the alumni book club is free. Simply pick up a copy of the current book at your library, local bookstore, or online. The group will read a book every two months - choose one or all, whatever works for your schedule.
More information and how to join can be found here.
The Midnight Library

As she travels through the Midnight Library, she must search within herself and decide what makes life worth living in the first place.
