INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2009/10 BC Books for BC Schools catalogue

The Association of Book Publishers of BC (ABPBC) is happy to be able to provide the province’s teacher- librari ans with the latest BC Books for BC Schools catalogue. We know you look forward to receiving it every year because we hear from many of you. We also know that publishers and authors are pleased that this resource tool allows us to tell you about the many BC published books that have a place in the school library.

As many of you know, the ABPBC works with a team of teacher-librarians who select the titles for this catalogue based on their suitability for school use and the quality of the work. They also annotate the titles providing additional information such as curriculum match, grade level and comments and cautions to help you find the right titles for your school. The ABPBC would like to thank all those teacher-librarians who worked with us this summer.

For those of you who are new to BC Books for BC Schools the catalogue is 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 organized alphabetically by title within each section. Subject areas follow the BC Ministry of Education’s cur riculum; we also highlight specific courses where it is felt that information should be included. The catalogue is available on our website: www.books.bc.ca where the Resource for Teacher-Librarians link will take you to the right place. We also provide publishers’ websites with each annotation for more information on the title.

Please note that the ABPBC cannot fill orders.

You will notice that this year the catalogue has a new look. For both our BC Books for BC Schools and our Canadian Aboriginal Books for Schools we decided to do a little cross-promotion by highlighting the work of contemporary Canadian artists. This year’s cover features the work of Kristi Malakoff. The piece is entitled Tar get II (detail) (2009, crepe paper party streamers, 48.0" x 48.0" x 6.0", collection of the artist). For more infor mation on the artist, see the box below.

This catalogue would not be possible without the project assistance of The Canada Council for the Arts and the Government of Canada through the Book Publishing Industry Development Program (BPIDP) of Canadian Heritage. The ABPBC also receives essential operating funding from the Arts & Culture Division of the BC Min istry of Tourism, Sport and the Arts.

Lastly, please let us know what you like about our catalogue and how we might improve it. We are open to all suggestions. We also need to demonstrate the importance of this catalogue to our funders. Let them know through us, how you use it. Please send comments to the ABPBC at [email protected].

Yours truly,

Margaret Reynolds Executive Director, Kristi Malakoff Association of Book Publishers of BC Kristi Malakoff is a 2005 BFA graduate of the Emily Carr Institute in October 2009 Vancouver where she was the recipient of many awards, among them the Alvin Balkind Memorial Scholarship, the Helen Pitt Award and the Governor General’s silver medal for the top graduating student of 2005.
