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."
Children have "certainly altered my camping life," writes Jayne Seagrave in this latest addition to her popular camping series. She rises to the challenge, however, and with this detailed guide, so will many other camping enthusiasts who feel deterred by the prospect of camping with kids.
Seagrave covers it all, from camping while pregnant to camping with pre-teens. Her guide features the best government-owned campgrounds in BC as well as a small selection in Alberta, each entry providing historical, environmental and recreational information. She offers candid, first-hand experiences and practical tips on what to bring, what to expect at each campground, how to avoid potential hazards, and the ins and outs of the reservation system.
