Install the AALBC App

Add AALBC to your Home Screen directly from your browser for quick access to Black books, reviews, bestsellers, authors, and more—no Apple App Store or Google Play Store required. Once installed, AALBC works like a regular app, launching directly from your Home Screen, Dock, or taskbar. This gives AALBC a more direct relationship with readers while reducing our dependence on third-party platforms.
