Children's Literature Interdisciplinary Collection - CLIC

The Canadian Children's Book Center (CCBC) was formed in 1976 with the belief that all Canadians should have the opportunity to read books created by Canadian authors and illustrators. The CCBC is a key player in the growing world of Canadian children’s books. Their programs are accessible across Canada.

YAACS (Young Adults and Children’s Services) is a section of the British Columbia Library Association. Their purpose is to support library staff in the provision of high-quality library services to children, youth, and families in BC.

CCL/LCJ, the Canadian Children's Literature/Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse, served as a bilingual peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing comprehension and scholarship surrounding the literary works created for Canadian children. This encompassed a diverse array of media, including materials in English, French, and various other languages.
