Adopt-a-Library Program
Each year, the BC Book Prizes sends several finalist authors on tour around the province. As part of BC Book Prizes On Tour, these authors tour communities visiting one elementary school and one high school in each community, as well reading at a public event in a local bookstore or library (with book sales).

In its fledgling year (2007), the Adopt-a-Library program confirmed six sponsors supporting eight schools for a total of $4,000. To date, we have raised a combined total of $25,500 worth of books to 50 schools in communities across BC.
With this contribution, elementary and secondary schools across BC are exposed to the best of literary arts within their own province. This is a great opportunity to provide a valuable resource and source of inspiration for a young and growing generation of the province’s youth.

- Your name will be on a book plate in each book donated to your adopted school(s) that reads, “Donated by [Your Name Here]”

Thanks to all for helping to bring the best of BC writing and publishing to the next generation of readers and authors.
