About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Editorial Reviews
"She’s not trying to make each dog into an Instagram star; instead, she’s trying to give potential adopters insight into what the dog is like in hopes of finding the right match. Her style is a candid and often humorous look at the dog, always at eye level and always expressive." - NBCnews.com
"This book talks about how Instagram can have a huge impact on getting dogs adopted and raising awareness on the misconceptions of rescue and shelter dogs." - @brontebrindle on Instagram
"Rachael Rodgers, a photographer from Canmore, Alberta, has filled her Instagram and Facebook feeds with pictures of pups that would melt even the most frozen of hearts — and that’s saying something, because it can get cold in the Rocky Mountains." - Daily Hive Calgary
“Rachael's book features a remarkable selection of dogs in a wide range of situations and places, beautifully bringing out their individual personalities and quirkiness. This is a book that any dog lover would enjoy browsing, and through Rachael’s skill and creativity, many animals will find the new homes they deserve.” — Pete Wedderburn, veterinarian and author of My Dog Thinks He’s Human: 50 Ways to a Happy Healthy Pet
"Rodgers loves landscapes and being outside, and her photographs show it: the dogs are regularly seen traipsing through the snow, sitting by her feet in an open-top kayak, or hiking along a rugged mountain trail." - NBC, Know Your Value
"The guide featured in the book explores how to use Instagram and Facebook to get dogs adopted. Rodgers breaks down how to optimize hashtags, how to use geotags and includes a section just for shelter administrators." - Rocky Mountain Outlook
