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."
Ogopogo expert Arlene Gaal explores the information and sighting footage collected over the past 30 years. Since 1968, Arlene Gaal has been investigating, categorizing and summarizing the reported sightings of this ever-elusive serpent-like water creature.

As we move in to the new millennium, increased population and advanced technology has provided new photos, film footage and untold stories about the shy creature. In Search of Ogopogo; Sacred Creature of the Okanagan Waters is the history of Arlene's endeavors. Explore new and spectacular footage of the creature with the Chaplain Video. See what Unsolved Mysteries and Nippon TV discovered in their ventures with Arlene, and decide for yourself if the newly recorded sonar finally gives us what we need... proof of Ogopogo's existence
