About Books BC

About Books for Schools
Ordering Information

Books BC, (The Association of Book Publishers of BC; previously known as ABPBC), is a trade association founded in 1974. Our aims are to foster an environment in which our members—BC-owned publishing companies—will flourish and to expand an awareness of the value of books in all our lives.

We support the aspirations and activities of our membership through cultural, economic, and political initiatives and engage book-related communities in British Columbia, Canada, and beyond. Visit us at our website.

Our educational catalogue is brought to you by Read Local BC, a Books BC project that celebrates the vibrant community of authors, publishers, bookstores, and libraries that make up our province’s literary landscape. Find book lists, events, BC bookstores, and other resources on our website.
