Celebrate BC Books & Canadian indie bookstores this Spring

4 days ago

This April, readers are in for a real treat, and an opportunity to show their love for reading, authors, books, and the local literary industry.

BC Book Day: April 15, 2025

BC Book Day invites British Columbians to celebrate the province’s book & magazine publishers, authors, illustrators, bookstores, libraries, festivals, and literary prizes that connect us with local stories.

Use this day to show your love for the stories that are made and told right here in BC. Learn more about how to celebrate.

Canadian Independent Bookstore Day: April 26, 2025

Canadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD) is the perfect time to spend your day shopping at your local bookstores. (Bonus points if the books you buy are written and published by Canadians!)

By joining the celebration, you are advocating for independent businesses, supporting a flourishing bookselling community, and investing in Canadian culture.

More about CIBD here—including a list of indie bookstores across Canada and a Book Lovers Contest!
