Canadian Aboriginal Books for Schools

Welcome to our 2012/13 catalogue It is very gratifying for the Association of Book Publishers of BC (ABPBC) and its members to be able to provide teacher-librarians with the fifth Canadian Aboriginal Books for Schools. Over the years, we have received many positive comments about this resource, which has become one of the most comprehensive in this subject area. Your peers selected all the titles in the “AbCat” for their suitability as supplementary resources for school libraries. Our evaluation team provides thoughtful feedback to us on curriculum match and grade levels, as well as appropriate comments and cautions. We value their expertise enormously. If you are new to the catalogue you will find that it is helpfully organized first by appropriate level: Elementary (K-7), Secondary (8-12) and Cross-Grades for those books that are appropriate at both levels. Entries are then organized alphabetically by title within each section. Because this catalogue is distributed nationally we have chosen to provide generic subject areas, which we hope is sufficient for your resourcing needs. Note too that the catalogue is available online at books.bc.ca under Resources for Teacher-Librarians. The ABPBC has been providing the catalogues BC Books for BC Schools and Canadian Aboriginal Books for Schools for many years now. We have learned a lot in the process. Each year, we learn something new from our educator colleagues and each year we are surprised and delighted by the range and quality of Canadian-published books. Note too that the catalogue is available online at books.bc.ca under Resources for Teacher-Librarians. If you have any feedback on the catalogues, we are happy to receive it.

Yours truly, Margaret Reynolds Executive Director, Association of Book Publishers of BC September 2012
