CANADIAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

Since 2005 The Writers Union of Canada’s Libraries and Curriculum Committee has provided public libraries across Canada with contemporary listings of new Canadian titles as produced by Union members to assist the libraries in their acquisition processes. All information necessary to direct order titles is provided, including: ISBN, publication date, list price, publisher/distributor contact information; even a brief author-generated description of the work.

As with any listing service, ours is not all inclusive and does not necessarily represent all titles produced by all members. This is not due to any arbitrary process of exclusion, but because participation in our listing service is voluntary. The Libraries and Curriculum Committee is delighted to note that as time goes on and the program becomes better known amongst our members, more and more are choosing to take part.

You do not have to be a librarian to benefit from these lists. Whether a teacher or a student, a member of a book club or simply a solitary lover of books, here you will find information on contemporary titles written by some of Canada’s finest authors. Take a look. Cross match authors with their member’s page on the website. Get to know who we are and what we do. And remember, if you wish to have any of our authors conduct readings or make presentations to your group or organization, all are eligible for funding through the National Public Readings Program. Just click on “Readings” on our website to see if your group qualifies and how to access this program.

Wishing you a warm welcome to our world of words, we remain,

The Writers Union of Canada
