As the holiday season approaches, Read Local BC is offering a unique opportunity for book lovers to support local businesses while enjoying the joy of reading. The initiative features a contest where participants can win one of three limited edition holiday book boxes, each curated by independent booksellers across British Columbia.

The holiday book boxes include the Indigenous Voices Box, the BC Culinary Box, and the Early Readers Box. These specially selected collections are designed to cater to diverse reading interests, making them ideal gifts for family and friends. Interested individuals can enter the contest through the Read Local BC website, where these book boxes are also available for purchase until December 5 or while supplies last.

Supporting Local Authors and Publishers

Read Local BC aims to foster a vibrant literary community by promoting local authors, publishers, and booksellers. The initiative acknowledges the support it receives from the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund, as well as the Canada Council for the Arts, Creative BC, and the City of Vancouver. This collaboration enhances the visibility of British Columbia’s literary scene and encourages residents to shop locally this holiday season.

In addition to the contest, Read Local BC has partnered with The Tyee to produce a bookish gift guide, providing further inspiration for those looking to purchase gifts for the literary enthusiasts in their lives. The guide showcases a variety of titles and themes, ensuring there is something for everyone.

This holiday promotion encourages early shopping and emphasizes the importance of supporting local businesses. As the campaign unfolds, Read Local BC invites the community to embrace the spirit of giving and to share their experiences with the hashtag #ReadLocalBC.
