Low Pressure Book Club
2025-10-28 18:30 - 19:30, 2025-11-25 18:30 - 19:30 (America/Edmonton) | Bailey Books, 29 B Rowland Crescent, St. Albert, AB - Alberta, T8N 4B2, Canada
Low Pressure book club is a casual book club that’s perfect for anyone who loves books and wants to connect with other book lovers, but can’t commit to a monthly read. Unlike traditional book clubs, there’s no assigned reading here. Instead, we come together to discuss what each of us has been reading, share recommendations, or just chat about literature and media in general.
We often do a “show and tell,” where members bring in cool, interesting, or unique books to share with the group. Whether it’s a rare find or an old favorite, we love seeing what everyone brings and hearing why they’re passionate about it. There’s no need to worry about finishing a specific book, we’re here to listen to you talk about whatever book you want!
New members are always welcome! If you’re looking for a laid-back way to connect with others who share your love of books, join us. We’d love to hear about what you’re reading and share in the joy of discovering new books together! We meet at 6:30 on the last Tuesday of the month. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis and please feel free to bring a snack or beverage if you’d like.

Mental Health Skills in the Trades with Landon Barrowman
2025-10-29 19:00 - 21:00
Join us for a free seminar at Bailey Books with local author and journeyman steamfitter Landon Barrowman, who is bringing an important conversation about mental health to the trades. Drawing from more than a decade of experience — and a firsthand understanding of the fly-in, fly-out cycle of Fort McMurray — Landon has developed a practical approach to mental wellness in high-stress work environments. His talk highlights the real workplace risks that come with poor mental health, reminding us that when your head’s not in the game, disaster can strike. This seminar is a step toward creating safer, more supportive workplaces by giving people the tools to recognize the signs and refocus their minds on the task at hand.
