Bookshop
Support APALA through our Bookshop.org shop! Bookshop.org also works to support independent bookstores. We receive 10% of all sales made through the shop and have compiled lists of past literature award recipients and books reviewed in the APALA newsletter. We’ve also recently added lists browsable by reader age and the 2021 Literature Awards. Visit the shop here and check back in as we add new books and curate new lists.
