Curricula

All the titles in our BC Books for BC Schools (2008/09) (2009/10) and our Canadian Aboriginal Book for Schools (2008/09) (2009/10) catalogues have been selected from publisher submissions by teacher-librarians. The titles have been chosen for their relevance to school curricula and are annotated by professional evaluators.
