Welcome!

Welcome to the Canadian Children’s Book Centre's home on the web!
A national not-for-profit organization and registered charity, the Canadian Children’s Book Centre (CCBC) was founded in 1976 to promote, support and encourage the reading, writing and illustrating of Canadian books for children and teens.

With book collections and extensive resources in five cities across Canada, the CCBC is a treasure-trove for anyone interested in Canadian books for young readers. Through our publications and programs (such as the quarterly magazine, Canadian Children’s Book News and the annual TD Canadian Children’s Book Week), the CCBC actively promotes Canadian books and brings their readers and creators together.

We’re here for anyone who cares about Canadian children’s books. We provide resources for teachers, librarians, students and parents, writers, illustrators, storytellers, publishers and booksellers.

We hope you’ll enjoy looking over some of the resources and information we have here on our site, and if you have any questions, just click on the ‘ Contact Us’ button on the site tools menu on the bottom left hand side. We’ll be happy to help however we can.
